This is mostly OK as a binding (though it should be CCed to the DT list
and maintiners as all DT bindings should) except using upper case
doesn't really seem idiomatic for DT - lower case is more normal - and I
don't think we can make these properties mandatory in themselves.
Individual bindings would need to make them mandatory.  It's also odd to
have a mandatory property which may be absent!

It'd probably be better if the binding defined what the default
endianess was too, or just didn't say what happens in cases where
nothing is specified, the latter seems better.  Generally just not
mentioning regmap is better for a binding definition, the binding should
be usable by all OSs and not just Linux.
