Hi, Replying in one place to the two main points of contention ... 1) Compatible string :- I too think leaving it too generic is a bit bold ... we often think it is final but more often it turns out to not be so. But I also don't particularly like the idea of naming it after the SoC because controller IPs are usually not tied to a SoC. So giving it a controller version specific name should be good. I hope we treat all controllers as potentially 3rd reusable blocks rather than a part of SoC's identity. 2) Single-channel Controllers vs Multi-channel Controller :- Looking at the description of h/w, especially the separate and optional register sets and the fact that we are not talking runtime ad-hoc links between two endpoints, I lean towards single-channel controllers implementation. That seems like tidier dts+code. Regards, Jassi
