Heh, and I already asked for this at v2!

Do you need to see SoC series in there, or you are looking for specific structure in device tree, I have looked all the preceding hwlock drivers and its inline with what they have in there.
e.g. +    const: brcm,brcmstb-7445-sun-top-ctrl-semaphore
 
That's wasting my time, read again v2 feedback.

Can you please point me to an example?
