Thanks for the comments, Vladimir. Bryan's and Krzysztof's argument was that the bindings are required to describe the full hardware regardless of the driver support and either way not modifiable in the future, so they preferred having the HW properties of the key functional blocks in the bindings. And we were specifically asked to add the properties into this node in this patch series. Having said that, my knowledge on how the bindings are handled upstream in the long run as the requirements evolve, is limited. So I will look for some expert advise from Bryan here as he strongly advised for these. Thanks again.

I see no technical reason why describing the whole hardware block precludes any further work. How could it ?

Anyway, I'll repeat my ask to describe:

- The full register set
- The interconnects
- The clocks and resets
- The SIDs

Yes, it is what's been done. Assuming this thread is closed then.

Thanks,

Vijay.
