Thanks for the info, Wanglai.  Now I see why write as it is.

I can confirm if directly use your patch with perf with mainline
kernel I can capture CoreSight trace data successfully on Hikey960
board.

But since this DT binding will introduce DTC warning, I personally
think we can improve for this with below method:

We can create a funnel node named "funnel_combo", and we don't need to
specify register address range for it; and cluster 0 and cluster 1 will
output to "funnel_combo" and "funnel_combo" will output to the top
funnel.  Thus the DT binding will write as below.

To support for a funnel without any register address range (we have
support replicator like this mode), we also need to extend the driver
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.c.

Mathieu, Mike, Suzuki, could you help confirm this is the right
direction we should move forward to?
