What is the significance of the "expected virtual address"? All drivers
nowadays should call ioremap() and use whatever virtual address comes
out of that.

Russell has just spent a lot of work on cleaning up the l2x0 setup
of various platforms. I really don't want to see new platform specific
code for this.

A lot of these are already selected by ARCH_MULTI_V7 and can be
omitted here.

You shouldn't need these any more. If you do, just move all of this
into the main file, to ensure no other file accidentally relies
on hardcoded values.

Note that BCM63XX_AHB_PHYS is nor aligned, so AFAICT you don't
actually get a huge page entry for it, and there is no point
doing this at all, as it has neither functional nor performance
relevance.

You may have out-of-tree drivers that you haven't cleaned up
or posted yet relying on specific static mappings, but that is
no reason to have these mappings in the mainline kernel.

Maybe just "bcm63xx.c"? We don't really do "board" files any more.

What are the power-on values of bits you override here? Are you sure
you have to force all of them?

Don't we already have ways to specify the same things in DT properties?
