My concerns are not resolved. Why is it here in the first place?
Hi Krzysztof,

ETE is acronym of embedded trace extension. The number of the name is
the same as the number of the CPU it belongs to.
This is obvious and was not my question.
You already said it here...

Do you mean why the pattern match of the node name is added here ?
Yes, especially that it is requiring a non-generic name.

This node should not have the node name match, right ?
Usually. For sure shouldn't be for non-generic names.

Hi Suzuki,

Can we remove the pattern match of the node name and use a generic name
"ete" for the ete DT nodes ?
"ete" is not a generic name. What is generic here? It's an acronym of
some specific device name.

The device full name is embedded trace extension. So use ETE as the name
here.
That's obvious and my comment was not about it. Second time... This is
my unlucky day... I said, why do you even want to enforce name which is
not generic, since the names should be generic?

I think we can just drop the enforced name if it's getting in the way.
It doesn't really do anything and other Coresight bindings don't have it
anyway.

I assume you read the DT specification:
https://devicetree-specification.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chapter2-devicetree-basics.html#generic-names-recommendation


Best regards,
Krzysztof

I couldn't find anything in that list that would be a good fit for a
name, and it seems like all of the Coresight devices have already been
added with non generic names (like funnel and replicator etc), so it
might be a bit late now.

But if we drop the enforced name then it's probably fine.
Thanks  James.

I will make change to remove the "$nodename:".

Thanks
Jinlong Mao
