This is very useful, thanks for writing it up.

When I've been debugging interconnect things I've added a
kstrdup_const() of "name" in of_icc_get() and then included that here.

I find including the path name quite useful for devices with multiple
paths.

And analog to e.g. the clock traces I would suggest that you trace
device, path and "ret" here.
