I don't think the binding should require the node to have a particular
name; node names shouldn't be interpret/used/relied-upon by drivers.

What is the first entry in this list for; why wouldn't you always use
one of the two versioned compatible values?

The use of , before revN is a little unusual; I would have expected
arm,cci-400-pmu-rev0, but this isn't a big deal.

Is there more than one interrupt? The text seems to imply that. If so,
what are they, and which order must they appear?
