To be fair on the product managers the IP naming from a hardware 
perspective is in the context of the ex-Xilinx development tools, and as 
such there is no risk of namespace overlap with the rest of the 
business.  I'm not against changing the binding name for clarity in the 
kernel. Would adding pl within the binding (Programmable Logic) assist? 
Ie: amd,pl-axi-1wire-master
