My apologies here, I did not express myself properly. You got the wording right
but the format is a little bizarre. The line break after "should be" and the
sentence that starts with a '*' on the next line feel unatural. Simply
compatible : should be "arm,coresight-cpu-debug"; supplemented with
"arm,primecell" since this driver is using the AMBA bus interface.
will be fine.
Am I missing anthing for this?quoted

+- reg : physical base address and length of the register set. + +- clocks : the clock associated to this component. + +- clock-names : the name of the clock referenced by the code. Since we are + using the AMBA framework, the name of the clock providing + the interconnect should be "apb_pclk" and the clock is + mandatory.

+ +- power-domains: a phandle to power domain node for debug module. We can + use "nohlt" to ensure CPU power domain is enabled.The "power-domains" property is to take care of the debug power domain. The "nohlt" is to make sure registers in the CPU power domain are accessible - both are independent from one another. As such the description for this binding shoudl be: "a phandle to the debug power domain".Will fix for upper two comments. Thanks, Leo Yan
