Uh.. where are the cpus?

It's generally a good idea to list the specific soc model before "simple-bus".

Should include the soc in this compatible list:

	compatible = "samsung,smdkv310", "samsung,s5pv310";

Also, every 'compatible' value specified in this file should also have
documentation in Documentation/devicetree/bindings.

> +	#size-cells = <1>;

It's usually a good idea to have a "interrupt-parent = <&GIC>;" here
so that all child nodes inherit it as the default interrupt
controller.

Also, missing a 'cpus' node.

initrd base address will get passed via the linux,initrd-start and
linux,initrd-end properties which are automatically populated by
u-boot.  Drop initrd from the boot args.

Should also specify the soc with something like:

		compatible = "samsung,s5pv310-soc", "simple-bus";

> +		ranges = <0x00000000 0x00000000 0xFFFFFFFF>;

You can specify that the entire ranges is translated simply by
specifying an empty ranges property like so:

		ranges;

> +			compatible = "arm,gic";

Be specific about the device on all the device nodes, followed by a
list of the compatible devices.  Should be something like:

	compatible = "samsung,s5pv310-soc", "arm,gic";

By putting the interrupt-parent property in the root node, this
interrupt-parent property can be dropped.

> +			compatible = "samsung,s3c2410-wdt";

compatible needs to first specify the exact device
(samsung,s5pv310-wdt?) followed by the compatible device.  I assume
the wdt in the s5pv310 is compatible with the one in the s3c2410,
correct?  Or am I missing something?

But for ARM, all the details of the cpu are probe-able. So what would we 
gain by putting cpu info in the DTS?

For no translation, you can do just:

ranges;

Perhaps there are use cases where the system designer wants to lock in a 
certain configuration.  Hardware partitioning is one such case.  For 
example, say you have a multicore ARM platform and you only want your 
kernel to know about certain cpus.  One way to do that is by pulling the 
cpus you don't want the kernel to know about out of the device tree.

You can detect what cpus are present, but you cannot necessarily
detect if all cpus are available (for instance in a multicore AMP
system where some cores run a different operating environment.  It is
also always good practice to have the structure of the device tree
fully populated even if the OS doesn't currently use it because it
provides points that (for instance) cpu affinity or non-probeable
configuration can be hung off of.
