Add new coresight-dummy.yaml file describing the bindings required

Subject: drop second/last, redundant "YAML schema". The "dt-bindings"
prefix is already stating that these are bindings and all new must be DT
schema. You cannot add anything else, so this is redundant.

I will take your advice to drop redundant part of title in the next
version of patch.

+title: QCOM Coresight Dummy component
+
+description: |
+ The Coresight Dummy component is for the specific devices that HLOS don't have
+ permission to access or configure. Such as Coresight sink EUD, some TPDMs etc.
+ So there need driver to register dummy devices as Coresight devices. Provide
+ Coresight API for dummy device operations, such as enabling and disabling
+ dummy devices. Build the Coresight path for dummy sink or dummy source for
+ debugging.
+
+ The primary use case of the coresight dummy is to build path for dummy sink or
+ dummy source.

Can we have coresight-dummy-source and coresight-dummy-sink?

Sure, I will take your advice in the next version of patch.

Why do you need the select?

This is a mistake, will remove it in the next version of patch.
+
+properties:
+ $nodename:

We do not enforce node names in individual bindings. Why do you need it?
Plus underscore is not even proper character...

I will remove this node.

+ compatible:
+ items:

Drop items. You have only one item, so no need for list.

I will take your advice and update it in the next version of patch.

+
+ qcom,dummy-sink:
+ type: boolean

You just duplicated property name. Write something useful.

+
+ qcom,dummy-source:
+ type: boolean
+ description:
+ Indicates that the type of this coresight node is dummy source.

You just duplicated property name. Write something useful.



These properties not required if the compatible name is more specific


I will update it in the next version of patch.

Sure, I will add more details for it.

The binding should constrain out ports to dummy-source only, and in
ports to dummy sink only.

I will update it according to your advice in the next version of patch.

Node names should be generic, so "sink"

Why line break after =?

If you use sentences, then start with capital letter.

Why line break?

I copy it from device tree and keep the original format, will correct
the format in the next version of patch.
