Yes, I know.
That's why I can change "simple-bus" to "simple-mfd"
with no risk.

The difference is schema-check.

The node name for "simple-bus" is checked by 'make dtbs_check'.

See this code:
https://github.com/robherring/dt-schema/blob/v2020.05/schemas/simple-bus.yaml#L17

Even if I rename the node, it does not accept the
unit name '1,1f00000'

"maybe" means I am not quite sure
which compatible is a better fit
to describe this device.


As mentioned above, simple-bus and simple-mfd
are interchangeable from a driver point of view.

This add-on board is integrated with various peripherals
such as 16550a serial, smsc9115 ether etc.
The address-decode is implemented in a CPLD device.
It has chip selects and local addresses, which are mapped to
the parent.

It can be either simple-bus or simple-mfd, I think.


dt-schema checks the node name of simple-bus.
Currently, there is no check for simple-mfd.

So, I think this patch is an easy solution
to fix the warning.

Right.

The node name of simple-bus
must meet the regular expression:
"^(bus|soc|axi|ahb|apb)(@[0-9a-f]+)?$"


Even if I rename the node
"support-card@1,1f00000"
to "bus@1,1f00000", the warning is still
displayed due to ','

"1,1f00000" means
the address 0x01f00000 of chip select 1.
