Commit Message

CoreSight uses below bindings for replicator:

  Static replicator, aka. non-configurable replicator:
    "arm,coresight-replicator";

  Dynamic replicator, aka. configurable replicator:
    "arm,coresight-dynamic-replicator", "arm,primecell";

The compatible string "arm,coresight-replicator" is not an explicit
naming to express the replicator is 'static'.  To unify the naming
convention, this patch introduces a new compatible string
"arm,coresight-static-replicator" for the static replicator; the
compatible string "arm,coresight-replicator" is still kept thus we
can support the old DT binding, but tag it as obsolete and suggest
to use the new compatible string.

As result CoreSight replicator have below bindings:

  Static replicator:
    "arm,coresight-replicator"; (obsolete)
    "arm,coresight-static-replicator";

  Dynamic replicator:
    "arm,coresight-dynamic-replicator", "arm,primecell";

To make it more obvious : s/obsolete/OBSOLETE/

nit: I would re-order the compatible strings to show the precedence of
choice.

e.g,
	- CoreSight non-configurable Replicator
		"arm,coresight-static-replicator";
		"arm,coresight-replicator"; (OBSOLETE. For
			backward compatibility. Will be removed )


Also, please could we put a warning in the driver when we encounter it
and request to update it ?
