Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the review!

Will put Georgi and Bjorn as maintainers, as per your other email.

As a start, just adding that the definitions are copied from
qcom,rpmh.yaml so it's not my invention :) Of course that doesn't mean
that it should be improved where possible!

Either value is supported by the driver (and used upstream). But perhaps
it can use a description to define what the 'parameters' mean.

The second (optional) parameters "is to support different bandwidth
configurations that are toggled by RPMh, depending on the power state of
the CPU."[0]

A commit message for sc7180 calls it the "tag information" and "The
consumers can specify the path tag as an additional argument to the
endpoints."[1]

Not sure how to properly describe the first property, I guess the
interconnect endpoint? Maybe Georgi can help here.

Sorry, I looked over the comment in v1.

As far as I can tell in current code only 1 item is used.

If the second parameter of_bcm_voter_get would be used as non-NULL then
qcom,bcm-voter-names gets looked up and the N-th value in qcom,bcm-voters
used. But currently qcom,bcm-voter-names is not actively used so only
one gets used.

Do you have a recommendation what to put here? A synthetic limit like
32 just to have a number there?

Currently unused in mainline but newer downstream kernels[2] use "hlos"
as first parameter, and e.g. "disp" as second one that goes to a
qcom,bcm-voter that's a child of disp_rsc. Not sure exactly what that
does.

Doesn't ": true" here just mean we want the value from the allOf: -
$ref?
But we could in theory make interconnect-cells only accept <2> for
sm6350.

So above required & unevaluatedProperties? Will update.
