That's a hardware limitation or just s/w is only using it for display? 
If the latter, that's not really relevant to this binding and should be 
removed.

Just s/w is only using it for display.
I will remove it from next patch.

It's just an example about how gce is used by display mmsys.
After I discussed with Mediatek display owner,
we think this can be moved to display device tree document.
Do you agree with this suggestion?
If so, I will remove it from next patch, too.

The problem is that mediatek,gce is not documented, but only 
mediatek,mt8173-gce.

How about this?

Required properties for a client device:
- mediatek,gce: Should point to the respective GCE block

Example for a client device:

mmsys: clock-controller@14000000 {
	compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys";
	mediatek,gce = <&gce>;
	...
};

+The Global Command Engine (GCE) is used to help read/write registers with
+critical time limitation, such as updating display configuration during the
+vblank. The GCE can be used to implement the Command Queue (CMDQ) driver.
+Currently, the GCE only supports display related hardwares, but we expect
+it can be extended to other hardwares for future requirements.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Must be "mediatek,mt8173-gce"
+- reg: Address range of the GCE unit
+- interrupts: The interrupt signal from the GCE block
+- clock: Clocks according to the common clock binding
