Why is the DT property "mediatek,scp-core" needed at all?  Since the compatible
"mediatek,mt8195-scp-dual" has already been defined previously in this patchset,
initialising the second core, if present, is a matter of looking at the
compatile string.

This looks very broken...  For this to work you would need to have two DT
entries with the "mediatek,mt8195-scp-dual" compatible properly, one with
"mediatek,scp-core = <&scp_dual1 0>;" and another one with "mediatek,scp-core = <&scp_dual0 1>;".

Which is also very broken...  Here you have a binding whose first argument is a
reference to the core sibling while the second argument is a characteristic of
the current core, which is highly confusing.

I suggest what when you see the compatible binding "mediatek,mt8195-scp", a
single core is initialized.  If you see "mediatek,mt8195-scp-dual", both cores
are initialized as part of the _same_ probe.

If the above analysis is not correct it means I misinterpreted your
work and if so, a serious amount of comments is needed _and_ a very detailed
example in "mtk,scp.yaml" that leaves no room for interpretation.

I will stop reviewing this patchset until you have clarified how this works.

Thanks,
Mathieu
