My understanding is > that cell-index is primarily used for identifying the h/w instance number. I was suggesting using cell-index instead of base_id. What we should probably due is have a devicetree/bindings/hwlock/hwlock.txt that would describe generic properties like this and just reference that in the omap binding spec. I'm thinking if we dont use cell-index, that it should probably be hwlock-base-id - k -- Employee of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
