AMD product managers are highly skilled in naming things. Sigh.

Go ahead with AXI 1-wire master. Any future - from now to next 100 years
- product from AMD which will be different but sold under the same name,
thus creating conflict in compatible naming, should be rejected because
of that conflict or renamed to something else. If that happen I will
propose a name like "banana-wire".

To be fair on the product managers the IP naming from a hardware perspective is in the context of the ex-Xilinx development tools, and as such there is no risk of namespace overlap with the rest of the business.  I'm not against changing the binding name for clarity in the kernel. Would adding pl within the binding (Programmable Logic) assist? Ie: amd,pl-axi-1wire-master
