What's current requirement to distinguish Side A and B?
I see current code, side A only does extra clear of xCR register but none for B.
Is this a generic approach or something customized?

BTW can we name it more generically?e.g. fsl,imx7s-mu.
And using a property to indicate whether it's side A or B if really required.

Furthermore, AFAIK MX7 MU is derived from MX6SX.
Should we add and use fsl,imx6sx-mu instead?
e.g.
 - compatible : Shell be one of:
                       "fsl,imx6sx-mu" and "fsl,imx7s-mu".
