Identifier is used to identify a particular secure enclave interface, within the multiple secure enclave interfaces under same compatible string.
Secure enclave interface is the combination of:
- messaging unit (hardware), and
- memory constraint applicable to a particular interface.
> Is the value significant to s/w? Kind of looks like you just made up indices.
For the below example:
v2x {
compatible = "fsl,imx95-v2x";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
v2x-if@0 { // if it is not @0, then what identifier to be used to identify a particular node.
reg = <0x0>;
mboxes = <&v2x_mu 0 0>, <&v2x_mu 1 0>;
mbox-names = "tx", "rx";
};
v2x-if@1 {
reg = <0x1>;
mboxes = <&v2x_mu6 0 0>, <&v2x_mu6 1 0>;
mbox-names = "txdb", "rxdb";
};
v2x-if@2 {
reg = <0x2>;
mboxes = <&v2x_mu7 0 0>, <&v2x_mu7 1 0>;
mbox-names = "tx", "rx";
};
};
s/w needs to differentiate one node from another node, for the same compatible string for the SoC.

It is fixed for a particular SoC.
While number of child nodes varies from one SoC to another SoC.

It will have multiple child nodes, but fixed number of child node for a particular SoC.

I am ready to separate and simplify.
Please help by sharing an example on how to go about this change.
Probably an example that helps me understand your point and then will start to work on this comment.
It is highly appreciated. Thanks.
