This is an error on my part - trig-conns is in fact what is used in
the bindings and handling code.

cpu and rm,cs-dev-assoc can appear in the parent node if the
arm,coresight-cti-v8-arch compatible string is used - hence declared
at that level. See the examples for the v8 compatible layout.

Absolutely - a CTI can and is connected to both the CPU and an
optional ETM attached to the CPU in a v8 architecture system.

OK - fixing the name should fix this.
I can't use additionalProperties as this is prohibited for bindings
that use ref: (according to the example-schema.yaml)

That's interesting - I don't get any dtc warnings when compiling or
when running make dt_binding_checl
Is this rule documented anywhere? I cannot see it in the 0.2 spec
version from devicetree.org or any of the examples / docs in the
kernel tree.
