A compatible string with the exact version sounds like a good idea, yes.

A documentation change sounds fine to me. How about documenting that
there should be either a "pcie_bus" clock or a phy reference?

It makes sense to remove the phy registers if there is always a separate
phy driver. Regarding the names, it's probably easier to remove them
completely than to document them.

If the register names are optional, you can't rely on them anyway
and have to uses the indexes/

Maybe they should be moved into the subnode that has the LSI interrupts,
or perhaps a separate node? I don't know how the other dw-pcie variants
do it, but it always seems like a good idea to keep MSI separate because
you might not want to use it if there is also an MSI capable GIC in the
system.

That sounds reasonable. Is that what your hardware implements?
