I do understand and agree with you. Here the HID is just for the sake of name/identifier of the device enumeration. I assume Its more related human readable format.

Naresh, If we are going to use my AMBA bus ACPI patch, it is not necessary to use the _HID of LINA0009 for the UART, since the pl011 driver is not probed directly but instead by the AMBA bus connector using the top-level _HID of AMBA0000.
Is this required for the DBG2 table you are working on?
