The coresight drivers relied on default bindings for graph in DT, while reusing the "reg" field of the "ports" to indicate the actual hardware port number for the connections. However, with the rules getting stricter w.r.t to the address mismatch with the label, it is no longer possible to use the port address field for the hardware port number. Hence, we add an explicit property to denote the hardware port number, "coresight,hwid" which must be specified for each "endpoint".

If we are unable to parse a port, we can simply ignore the port and continue, which is what we have today with the existing code. I didn't change it and still think it is the best effort thing. We could spit a warning for such cases, if really needed. Also, the parsing code almost never fails at the moment. If it fails to find "reg" field, it is assumed to be '0'. Either way ignoring it seems harmless. That said I am open to suggestions.
Looking at the original code I remember not mandating enpoints to be valid for debugging purposes. That certainly helps when building up a device tree file but also has the side effect of silently overlooking specification problems. Fortunately the revamping you did on that part of the code makes it very easy to change that, something I think we should take advantage of (it can only lead to positive scenarios where defective specifications get pointed out).
That being said and because the original behaviour is just as permissive, you can leave as is.
Thanks. So can I assume the Reviewed-by applies for the code now ?
Yes
