The Trigger Generation Unit (TGU) is designed to detect patterns or
sequences within a specific region of the System on Chip (SoC). Once
configured and activated, it monitors sense inputs and can detect a
pre-programmed state or sequence across clock cycles, subsequently
producing a trigger.

TGU Configuration in Hardware

The TGU provides a step region for user configuration, similar
to a flow chart. Each step region consists of three register clusters:

1.Priority Region: Sets the required signals with priority.
2.Condition Region: Defines specific requirements (e.g., signal A
reaches three times) and the subsequent action once the requirement is
met.
3.Timer/Counter (Optional): Provides timing or counting functionality.

Add a new coresight-tgu.yaml file to describe the bindings required to
define the TGU in the device trees.

I don't get why you insist, but sure:
The name does not follow DT spec recommendation, plus child schema is
not really supposed to define the names.

Each TGU on the same SoC?

This I understood, but I am asking if each TGU on the same SoC will have
different number of registers and other properties?
