Good catch, I guess I'm to caught up in it all and it's obvious for me 
what Gen2 is :-) I will update and use "Gen2 platform" throughout this 
document.

I will use 'port 0' as I think it makes more sens when reading.

Good catch, I'm describing what the current rcar-vin driver dose and not 
the generic case where in fact only one endpoint in port 0 is valid.  
Will update.

It's good to be explicit, will add this.

I like it they way it is :-)

The Gen2-specific properties are all on the same level in the dt 
description. While some Gen3-specific properties (port 0 and port 1) are 
indented one level in the dt description and this is why I indented them 
one level in the documentation. To make it clear that they should be 
children of the ports node.

I don't feel strongly about this but I feel it adds to the readability.  
If you don't agree I'm happy to remove the indentation for these two 
properties.

Sounds better, will update.

Will fix.

We don't have aliases for Gen3 but they exists in DTS for Gen2. My 
feeling is that we don't need them. My plan is to once Gen3 support is 
done try to sort this out, both in the documentation and in the dts 
files for Gen2.
