This seems like it's defining the "reg" property 3 times each with a
different meaning. It'd be better to say something like:

reg : register specifier. Must contain 3 entries, in the following
order: core registers, interrupt register, configuration registers.

Node names typically don't include a vendor prefix. For the first
instance above, I think just "spmi@fc4c0000" or even just "spmi" would
be appropriate here; the latter being best in the case where there's
only 1 SPMI controller and hence no need to include the unit address for
uniqueness.
