A textual mode ("dual", "lock-step", "single") would be more readable.

This looks a bit confusing. If you decide to stick to the numerical
modes, then at least list them in numerical order, E.G.:

0: split
1: lockstep
2: single

I think the description is fine. for readability I can just add numerical order as above.


The bigger issue has been multiple Cortex-R5 bindings all doing their
own thing for this feature which is not vendor specific (except TI has
their own extra mode or something). How TCMs are described is the
other issue. I've just stopped caring because no one listens.
Values used for cluster-mode property for xlnx platform is same as ti's cluster mode property.

0: split, 1: lockstep and 2: single-cpu mode. It is matching with ti,k3-r5 bindings.

However, default value for some of the ti platforms are different.

xlnx platforms have single-cpu mode as well.

It will take some time to design system-dt spec for TCM.

So, for now I use hard-code values of TCM from driver.

TCM bindings for linux will be posted once system-dt spec is accepted.

Meanwhile we would like to upstream rest of the bindings and driver.

A bit more detail would be good, E.G. something like arm/cpus.yaml does:

List of phandles and PM domain specifiers, as defined by bindings of the
PM domain provider (see also ../power_domain.txt).

And the phandle-array ref.
Both suggestions are wrong. We don't need common properties re-described
by every user. They already have a type definition too, so we don't need
to repeat phandle-array ref either.

The existing description is not needed either as it doesn't provide any
information specific to this binding. You only need to describe each
entry when there is more than 1 entry because we need to know what each
entry is and the order.

I will remove current description as well.

Thanks.

And here as well for mailbox/mailbox.txt
