Hello Krzysztof,
Firstly, I will correct the bindings error pointed by Rob's robot.
Obviously, I did not pass the bindings check the proper way or maybe I'm
running an old version.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "device tree bindings for".
The "dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings. 4
words of your 6 word subject is meaningless...
Ack, I will rephrase, it is indeed redundant

Filename like compatible, unless you know list of compatibles will
grow... but then add them.

+description: |
+ Resource isolation framework (RIF) is a comprehensive set of
hardware blocks
+ designed to enforce and manage isolation of STM32 hardware
resources like
+ memory and peripherals.
+
+ The RIFSC (RIF security controller) is composed of three sets of
registers,
+ each managing a specific set of hardware resources:
+ - RISC registers associated with RISUP logic (resource isolation
device unit
+ for peripherals), assign all non-RIF aware peripherals to
zero, one or
+ any security domains (secure, privilege, compartment).
+ - RIMC registers: associated with RIMU logic (resource isolation
master
+ unit), assign all non RIF-aware bus master to one security
domain by
+ setting secure, privileged and compartment information on the
system bus.
+ Alternatively, the RISUP logic controlling the device port
access to a
+ peripheral can assign target bus attributes to this peripheral
master port
+ (supported attribute: CID).
+ - RISC registers associated with RISAL logic (resource isolation
device unit
+ for address space - Lite version), assign address space
subregions to one
+ security domains (secure, privilege, compartment).

It does not make much sense to me to have hierarchy parent-child and via
phandle at the same time. You express the similar relationship twice
Thank you for pointing this out.
About the parent-child relation:
The bus-like device tree architecture allows a bus-probe mechanism with
which we want to check accesses of peripherals before probing their
driver. This has several advantages:
-This bus architecture provides a clearer view of the hardware.
-No peripheral driver modifications as it is fully handled by the
firewall drivers.
-Drivers for devices that aren't accessible will not even be probed =>
no probe fail.
It would be possible to manage this mechanism another way by handling
probe deferrals in drivers. But it would mean modifying every driver
with a check on ST firewall that we probe and some of them aren't from
STMicroelectronics.
About the phandle relation:
I agree on the fact that this double expression of the relationship is
redundant.
I've done it this way because there will be other nodes outside the
RIFSC node that will need to reference it as their feature-domain
controller. I kept the same information in the property to be coherent
between all.
For nodes under the RIFSC, the phandle is indeed useless and could be
removed, just to leave the firewall ID. And I'm inclined to do so. I
just have one worry on the YAML binding files where I will have a
pattern property in the RIFSC that will state something and maybe
another description in the peripheral YAML files. What is your take on
that?
Looking back at it, feature-domains is a phandle-array. I guess I can't
derogate to the following architecture:
items:
- items:
- description: A phandle
- description: 1st arg cell
- description: 2nd arg cell
can I?
Some devices' nodes that are not subnodes of the firewall controllers
will need the phandle reference. Should I keep the redundant information
then?

Gatien
