The BPMP is a specific processor in Tegra chip, which is designed for
booting process handling and offloading the power management tasks
from the CPU. The binding document defines the resources that would be
used by the BPMP firmware driver, which can create the interprocessor
communication (IPC) between the CPU and BPMP.

s/power management/power management, clock management, and reset control/?

Again, I'd suggest wording this as:

- compatible
     Array of strings.
     One of:
   - "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp"

s/channel ID/mailbox specifier/.

I'd rather not split the filenames across lines, since that makes grep 
fail to match. Perhaps add the following text to the introductory 
section at the start of the file to avoid having to mention some of the 
filenames in an indented block of text:

==========
This node is a mailbox consumer. See the following file for details of 
the mailbox subsystem, and the specifiers implemented by the relevant 
provider(s):

- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/nvidia,tegra186-hsp.txt

This node is a clock and reset provider. See the following files for 
general documentation of those features, and the specifiers implemented 
by this node:

- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
- include/dt-bindings/clock/tegra186-clock.h
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/reset.txt
- include/dt-bindings/reset/tegra186-reset.h
==========

Related, I would expect those two header files (tegra186-clock.h and 
tegra186-reset.h) to be part of this patch, since they form part of the 
definition of this binding.

s/a sram/an SRAM/.

There should be no unit address ("@d0000000") in the node name, since 
there's no reg property.

Okay. Will add them.

+NVIDIA Tegra Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP)
+
+The BPMP is a specific processor in Tegra chip, which is designed for
+booting process handling and offloading the power management tasks from
+the CPU. The binding document defines the resources that would be used by
+the BPMP firmware driver, which can create the interprocessor
+communication (IPC) between the CPU and BPMP.
+
+Required properties:
+- name : Should be bpmp
+- compatible : Should be "nvidia,tegra<chip>-bpmp"
+- mboxes : The phandle of mailbox controller and the channel ID
+           See "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/
+	   nvidia,tegra186-hsp.txt" and "Documentation/devicetree/
+	   bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt" for more details about the generic
+	   mailbox controller and mailbox client driver bindings.
+- shmem : List of the phandle of the TX and RX shared memory area that
+	  the IPC between CPU and BPMP is based on.
+- #clock-cells : Should be 1.
+- #reset-cells : Should be 1.
+
+The shared memory bindings for BPMP
+-----------------------------------
+
+The shared memory area for the IPC TX and RX between CPU and BPMP are
+predefined and work on top of sysram, which is a sram inside the chip.
+
+See "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sram/sram.txt" for the bindings.
+
+Example:
+
+hsp_top: hsp@03c00000 {
+	...
+	#mbox-cells = <1>;
+};
+
+bpmp@d0000000 {
+	compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp";
+	mboxes = <&hsp_mbox HSP_DB_MASTER_BPMP>;
+	shmem = <&cpu_bpmp_tx &cpu_bpmp_rx>;
+	#clock-cells = <1>;
+	#reset-cells = <1>;
+};
+
+sysram@30000000 {
+	compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-sysram", "mmio-ram";
+	reg = <0x0 0x30000000 0x0 0x50000>;
+	#address-cells = <2>;
+	#size-cells = <2>;
+	ranges = <0 0x0 0x0 0x30000000 0x0 0x50000>;
+
+	cpu_bpmp_tx: bpmp_shmem@4e000 {
+		compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp-shmem";
+		reg = <0x0 0x4e000 0x0 0x1000>;
+	};
+
+	cpu_bpmp_rx: bpmp_shmem@4f000 {
+		compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp-shmem";
+		reg = <0x0 0x4f000 0x0 0x1000>;
