IIRC, Arabella claims to deal nicely with dynamic allocation of

I don't understand how that pertains to this thread...

Potential conflict: multiple logical devices competing for the same
SoC resource.  Converse: similar logical devices supported by
different resources.  Both cases have been mentioned in this thread,
with confusion about how to deal with them.

Does Arabella solve it as claimed?  I don't know.  But dynamic
allocation doesn't sound crazy.  Maybe some of the code or design can
even be copied.

And why did you post it only to me?

Oops.  Correcting now.
