The DRV is the voter for an execution environment (Linux, Hypervisor,
ATF) in the RSC. The RSC has a lot of other registers that Linux is not
privy to. They are access restricted. The memory organization of the RSC
mandates that we know the DRV id to access registers specific to the
DRV. Unfortunately, not all RSC have identical DRV configuration and the
register space is also variable depending on the capability of the RSC.
There are functionalities supported by other RSCs in the SoC that are
not supported by the RSC associated with the application processor,
while not many RSCs' support multiple DRVs. Therefore it doesn't benefit
describing the whole RSC as it is not usable from Linux (because of
access restrictions).
I generally prefer that we describe the hardware blocks as accurate as
possible, instead of applying current restrictions on Linux onto the
description. This ensures that we can reuse the binding and drivers in
configurations not considered today. However, afaict we still have the
problem that we need a way to express where in the RSC our TCS sits.
Regardless of what's right or not, the given example causes the driver
to fail probing, so something needs to be changed.
I have been using this in DT and I haven't seen failures. Could you send
me the logs?
Thanks,

(Making the drv size
0xd00 is functional but doesn't really relate to any bondary in the
register space).
