This problem will eventually disappear with genpd handling the clockdomains. But currently the clockdomain name is parsed from the dt node name, which is not standard practise. Using reg-names is a standard binding, and it's usage follows the standand here to describe the reg range. Then eventually with genpd, the reg-names will just become optinoal. But until that happens the $subject patch fixes issues as described in the patch. Regards, Tony
