TBH, I'm not sure I can make a judgement here, as I don't have enough
knowledge of the topology. And I'm not sure whether the listed
connections cover all possible cases.

I also found commit 5799dee92dc2:

 | This patch adds platform driver support for the CoreSight Interconnect

With your proposal, wouldn't ATID be allocated for the interconnect
TNOC while being skipped for the Aggregator TNOC? That seems to
contradict the commit log.

Thanks,
