In case you missed, there was a previous email requesting your view on this change.
Having node as "firmware {", is very generic that has wide interpretation.
Hence, replaced firmware with "senclave-firmware".

Why "senclave"?
Like sram, for secure RAM, I proposed senclave for secure enclave.


Moreover, there are plenty of examples of YAML(s), that were already committed; that are using this:
linux_bkp$:> find Documentation/ -name "*.yaml" | xargs grep -r "\-firmware {"

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/crypto/xlnx,zynqmp-aes.yaml:      zynqmp_firmware: zynqmp-firmware {
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/fpga/xlnx,zynqmp-pcap-fpga.yaml:      zynqmp_firmware: zynqmp-firmware {
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/xlnx,zynqmp-gpio-modepin.yaml:    zynqmp-firmware {
 And more...

If you any other suggested word to pre-fix , that narrows down this broad referenced word "firmware". Please suggest.

Thanks Conor, for the suggestion this. Will use this. Thanks.
