Not really useful. What we like to see is what changed. Maintainers have 
short memories and don't remember what they said previously (unless 
comments are ignored).

Where's the port? Didn't you previously say it was optional?

Well I wanted to get rid of anything except bare minimal that is required for
that driver.

What I did miss in that clean-up is description above.
In particular "Required subnodes" section that still lists "port".

And frankly now I'm a bit lost with what should I put in that binding
description and what should not. Any comments here are much appreciated.

+ARC PGU
+
+This is a display controller found on several development boards produced
+by Synopsys. The ARC PGU is an RGB streamer that reads the data from a
+framebuffer and sends it to a single digital encoder (usually HDMI).
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: "snps,arcpgu"
+  - reg: Physical base address and length of the controller's registers.
+  - clocks: A list of phandle + clock-specifier pairs, one for each
+    entry in 'clock-names'.
+  - clock-names: A list of clock names. For ARC PGU it should contain:
+      - "pxlclk" for the clock feeding the output PLL of the controller.
+
+Required sub-nodes:
+  - port: The PGU connection to an encoder chip. The connection is modelled
+    using the OF graph bindings specified in
+    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt.
+
+Example:
+
+/ {
+	...
+
+	pgu@XXXXXXXX {
+		compatible = "snps,arcpgu";
+		reg = <0xXXXXXXXX 0x400>;
+		clocks = <&clock_node>;
+		clock-names = "pxlclk";
+	};
+
+	...
+};
