For people with more device-tree bindings experience: Is that a valid thing
to say in a bindings context?

The text is a modified copy from the mmio-mux binding which similar except
that it has "must be a syscon node" instead of "must be a device node". syscon
is a concept that exists in the devicetree, but what is wanted here is some
description that indicates that the driver of the parent node provides a
regmap.

I don't know how to say that without getting linux-specific?

syscon?

"okay" in examples are not needed, please remove.

bits 2:0

This first block is not indented to the same level as the following blocks.

I do not see this compatible described under Documentation/devicetree/bindings.
Is this also new? Where can I find it if so? And perhaps a corresponding driver?

To me is seems as if existing usage of the "mdio-mux" compatible is some kind of
generic fallback compatible that should perhaps /not/ be associated with a new
driver?

Spaces around the equal sign, please.

Drop the surplus zero -> <0x0>
Or perhaps just a decimal <0>? Fitting 10 or more muxes in one register
should be rare and your comment in the mux-controller node has plain old
decimal "0" and "1".

Drop the surplus zero -> <0x0>   (Or <0>)

Drop the surplus zero -> <0x1>   (Or <1>)

+Generic register bitfield-based multiplexer controller bindings
+
+Define register bitfields to be used to control multiplexers. The parent
+device tree node must be a device node to provide register r/w access.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "reg-mux"
+- #mux-control-cells : <1>
+- mux-reg-masks : an array of register offset and pre-shifted bitfield mask
+                  pairs, each describing a single mux control.
+* Standard mux-controller bindings as decribed in mux-controller.txt
+
+Optional properties:
+- idle-states : if present, the state the muxes will have when idle. The
+		special state MUX_IDLE_AS_IS is the default.
+
+The multiplexer state of each multiplexer is defined as the value of the
+bitfield described by the corresponding register offset and bitfield mask pair
+in the mux-reg-masks array, accessed through the parent syscon.
