The CoreSight TNOC (Trace Network-On-Chip) binding so far only allowed the two-string AMBA form "qcom,coresight-tnoc", "arm,primecell". That form forces the device onto the AMBA bus, where the driver must read the peripheral ID from the device registers during probe. On several QCOM platforms this AMBA peripheral-ID probing fails, so the traceNoC device never probes and its trace path is unavailable.

But it works fine on some platforms? We have a property to override the peripheral-ID which would solve your issue. That would be much simpler and avoid the ABI break on any of the working platforms.

Looking back at the earlier discussion [1], Jie in v2 already proposed "arm,primecell-periphid". Questions about AMBA IDs and ATID handling got mixed together. The series later moved towards platform-device probing, then became current shape.

Hope we make the right decision on arm,primecell-periphid this time.

Anyway, I'd like to apologise to Jie for all the back and forth.

Thanks, Leo
