... here..

We shouldn't be talking about the drivers are going to use it, etc.
This is a binding document, which should be independent of Linux
kernel. It can be used by other Operating systems as well and so the
implementation details should be just dropped.

These are proper sentences and so maybe a full-stop (.) at the end of
each line ?

Again, these are implementation details.. should be dropped.

@Rob: Can we add properties to the CPU node just like that ?

Otherwise, you could have added above properties right here and added
your own compatible string..

so the first one is always FF ? Why have it then ?
