Re: [PATCH v4 0/2] coresight: core: Add device name support

[Mike Leach]

Hi,

1) As per Krzysztof comment - use the standard "label" property

2) Do not use the label string as the node name - there is no
guarantee of uniqueness which will cause issues. Please add the label
as a sysfs file to the standard node.
This uses the existing standard names, allowing any scripting based on
this to continue to work, and will not cause issues with uniqueness

e.g.
This will allow :

cat cti_cpu0/label

to extract the additional hardware context information that you need.

Thanks

Mike
