Interesting to compare to. Maybe we should also add the $nodename: pattern: '^gpu@[a-f0-9]+$' But the sgx binding is difficult to grasp here. Some SoC like the omap series have their own ti,sysc based target modules and the gpu nodes is a child of it lacking any clock and reset references for purpose. The jz4780 and some other need a clocks definition, but no reset. Having a reset seems to be an option for the SoC designer and not mandated by img. So is it part of the pvrsgx bindings or the SoC? Well we could add clocks and resets as optional but that would allow to wrongly define omap. Or delegate them to a parent "simple-pm-bus" node. I have to study that material more to understand what you seem to expect. BR and thanks, Nikolaus Schaller
