Rob,

If I were to actually encode this in YAML, I need to distinguish Core0
from Core1. I have currently followed the DT generic node name
convention when defining the two nodes and interpret in the driver based
on addresses. What is the preferred mechanism for this - define node
names as r5f0 and r5f1 or introduce a ti,core-id or ti,cpu-id property?

regards
Suman
