That's sort of a question for DT reviewers. The register space
certainly seems like a free for all with a tilt toward power
management of the CPU, similar to how this was done on Krait
based designs.
I wonder why we didn't make up some provider/consumer binding for
the "kicking" feature used by SMD/RPM code. Then this could be a
clock provider and a "kick" provider (haha #kick-cells) and the
usage of syscon/regmap wouldn't be mandatory.
