For PRR, all other registers in the page read as all zeroes on all SoCs that have it. So it really is a lone register. >> On SH-Mobile/R-Mobile, CCCR may be part of the HPB/APB register block, which >> we further don't touch at all. >> On R-Car Gen2, it's not documented, but does exist. > > This is where the family names would come in handy ;-) I now have > no idea which chip(s) you are referring to. SH/R-Mobile are r8a7740, r8a73a4, sh73a0. R-Car Gen2 are r8a779[0-4]. > If you know the name of the register block, just put it into DT with > that name. The driver can trivially add the right offset. CCCR is different. The amount of registers that read as non-zero depends a lot on the actual SoC. HPB/APB is gonna need real DT bindings, which needs some more investigation. Hence if you don't mind, I'd like to postpone that part, which only affects the older SoCs. And I'll drop the "renesas,cccr" binding. For now, having revision detection for R-Car Gen3 (r8a779[56]) using PRR is most urgent, as several drivers (e.g. HDMI, Ethernet, clocks, pinctrl) are waiting for this support. So I'd like to have that dependency in v4.10. >> >> - Don't register the SoC bus if the chip ID register is missing, >> > >> > Why?

Could you have a renesas,cccr Looks like you forgot to finish your sentence? Thanks!
