Yes, I kept it this way mainly because of Bjorn's concerns about things
being in random order.
Bjorn/Andy, any thoughts?

What you are suggesting seems to make sense, however, given I blindly
pulled these in from the internal kernels, I am looping in Karthik/Girish
if they have anything to chime in.

So FWIK, its one QUP with 8 SE instances, and we have 2 such QUP instances
in SDM845. So yes, I should probably name it qupv3_id_1 to avoid confusion.
