clarification for .svd syntax

jheissjr

The table spec for .svd cluster sections have a tag called <name>.

https://siliconlabs.github.io/Gecko_SDK_Doc/CMSIS/SVD/html/group__cluster_level__gr.html

.svd files from Atmel/Microchip omit [%s] in the <name> tag.  The file has

<registers>
            <cluster>
               <dim>3</dim>
               <dimIncrement>64</dimIncrement>
               <name>TC_CHANNEL</name>
               <description>Channel Control Register (channel = 0)</description>
               <addressOffset>0x0</addressOffset>
               <register>
                  <name>TC_CCR</name>
                  <description>Channel Control Register (channel = 0)</description>
                  <addressOffset>0x00</addressOffset>
                  <size>32</size>

Instead, I was expecting -

<registers>
            <cluster>
               <dim>3</dim>
               <dimIncrement>64</dimIncrement>
               <name>TC_CHANNEL[%s]</name>
               <description>Channel Control Register (channel = 0)</description>
               <addressOffset>0x0</addressOffset>
               <register>
                  <name>TC_CCR</name>
                  <description>Channel Control Register (channel = 0)</description>
                  <addressOffset>0x00</addressOffset>
                  <size>32</size>

Is the Atmel file correct to omit [%s]?  It would seem the rule in the table for a <name> which is "register names are required to be unique within the scope of a peripheral" is violated when [%s] is omitted. Would there not be duplicate TC_CHANNEL for each cluster when [%s] is omitted?  When [%s] is included, would the names be TC_CHANNEL 0, TC_CHANNEL 1, TC_CHANNEL 2 which seems correct?
