This description needs to be refactored - see my comment from an earlier post
for more details.
I have refined this description according to your suggestion:

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?

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
