Re: [PATCH 2/4] coresight: Add support for multiple output ports on the funnel

[Mike Leach]

Hi Tao,

Using a DT label in this way is not how connections should be
described in device tree, The association needs to be between the
input and output ports of the component not and extra link back to the
source.

If your "funnel"  has multiple input and output ports, then it is no
longer a funnel.  As you describe it - the input ports are statically
associated with an output port, so the device is effectively a set of
individual funnels.
Given that the association between the inputs and outputs is known at
time of compilation - then these can be inferred from the components
compatible string and handled internally during driver probe.

This component should therefore really have its own driver, and not be
described as a standard  funnel. In this way you can handle the input
and output associations within the driver and create a path in the
normal way, avoiding the need for large changes to the coresight API.
Having a specific driver will allow creation of sets of associated
input and output connections.

Regards

Mike
