Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for the reviewing the patches.

Yes, it is supposed to be picked like the next patch does it. I can
squash these both.

A lack of companion doesn't mean secondary-OLDI automatically, actually.

There is also a possible configuration where 2 OLDI TXes could be
individually connected to 2 different sources => 2x single Link
configuration. The OLDI TXes would then work independently.

Yes! Will fix this.

I tested again just now. At least the schema check didn't report any
error. I used the v2024.05 dtschema too.

This github gist[0] captures all details of this test.

Could you instead please elaborate what maybe wrong here, and I will try
to fix that.

Right. Will make the name generic.

The reg is for indexing purposes so that the driver can distinguish
between which OLDI TX is under question. Since, the syscon controller
has different power control registers and bits for different OLDIs - its
important for the driver to be able to tell one from another.
