The code being different is a Linux detail. What is different in the HW that necessitates the code being different?

Documentaiton and drivers are different things. A binding is a contract, and for that contract to be meaningful it needs to be described.

But presumably there are other resources that you require (e.g. a system controller, perhaps a specific portion of sram). I can't just put "rockchip,rk3288-smp" into an otherwise empty DT and get SMP support, I would assume.
