Hi, Rob

Thanks for review. I just sent v2 of this patchset, according to
review comments I got. In v2, I discarded this new binding file.
Actually, I extended the existing
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/hi6421.txt to make it support
v530. There is no regmap in that.

Yes, there is a controller to generate SSI packets. However that is
completely blind to main SoC. It's more MMIO.
