    Vendor specific property names should be prefixed with the vendor name and 
comma.

We require #address-cells and #size-cells if the child nodes have reg
entries.

Is this the offset or the absolute physical address?

The example seems to be absolute.

What does this even mean? What's the format?

Is this not implied by standard properties like regulator-max-microvolt?

Why is this necessary?

You are right, the description is wrong.

Unfortunately not as long the step size in microvolt isn't defined. The 
parameter defines the register value in hex corresponding to 
regulator-max-microvolt.

step size = (regulator-max-microvolt - regulator-min-microvolt) / 
mxs-max-reg-val

May be i missed or understand something wrong?

The original driver from Freescale set the MX28 regulator vddio to 3.38 
V during registering. I think that is ugly to implement in the driver 
part, so i add a more general property in the devicetree binding.
