The data that was in start_info_t should be just simple bindings in "/ xen" since they describe xen, there is no need to create a new node. many of the props are not needed since they are expressed elsewhere in the devtree or perhaps differently.
more below.

This patch creates a new node, /xen/start_info_t in the flat devtree.
It adds a property for each field of the start_info_t structure that
xc_linux_build used to fill-out. I've also removed the helper functions
which created/filled-out the start_info_t structure.

This patch depends on Patch2 which modifies linux:xen_init_early().

No need for magic since we are not trying to verify that the memory location is good. If we _do_ need this as some kind of compatibility statement then I'd say the property name is "compatible"

/memory node has this covered and linux knows about it, AFAICT we don't need it at all If we do need it then you'll have to walk the LMB and count the pages like it is done in: arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c htab_initialize 429 void __init htab_initialize(void )

memory areas generally contain a size so that should be included.
I believe that "_" is reserved for the standard root bindings, use use "-".
So the name should be "shared-info"

To there are to items that describe Xen Store, its location and its interrupt.
I would think the correct binding here is:
 /xen/store/reg: <store_mfn << PAGE_SHIFT>
 /xen/store/interrupts: <store_evtchn> 0
the latter is 2 ints.

Same goes for console.
