There are valid cases when two nodes can have the same address. For
example, in Exynos SoCs there is USI IP-core, which might be configured
to provide UART, SPI or I2C block, all of which having the same base
register address. But only one can be enabled at a time. That looks like
this:
usi@138200c0 {
serial@13820000 {
status = "okay";
};
i2c@13820000 {
status = "disabled";
};
};
When running "make dt_binding_check", it reports next warning:
Warning (unique_unit_address):
/example-0/usi@138200c0/serial@13820000:
duplicate unit-address (also used in node
/example-0/usi@138200c0/i2c@13820000)
Disable "unique_unit_address" in DTC_FLAGS to suppress warnings like
that, but enable "unique_unit_address_if_enabled" warning, so that dtc
still reports a warning when two enabled nodes are having the same
address.
