Copyright date?

We've gone over this one a few times already; most copyright dates quickly become outdated and meaningless :)

See: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/copyright-notices-in-open-source-software-projects/

By convention mostly we call the variable "np".

Ack, I'll change it for v2.

Don't you have a limit of supported channels? It cannot be any uint32...

Today, it's max 8. But if come Monday we find out Apple's new chips have 16 channels and otherwise the same register layout, I'd much rather not have to change the driver...

Use almost everywhere dev_err_probe - less code and you get error msg
printed.

Heh, I didn't know about that one. Thanks!

+	dev_info(dev, "Apple MCC performance driver initialized\n");

Please skip it, or at least make it a dev_dbg, you don't print any
valuable information here.

Ack, I'll remove this.

+static struct platform_driver apple_mcc_driver = {
+	.probe = apple_mcc_probe,
+	.driver = {
+		.name = "apple-mcc",
+		.of_match_table = apple_mcc_of_match,
+	},
+};

module_platform_driver() goes here.

Ack, will fix for v2.

+MODULE_AUTHOR("Hector Martin <marcan@xxxxxxxxx>");
+MODULE_DESCRIPTION("MCC memory controller performance tuning driver for Apple SoCs");
+MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");

I think this will be "Dual MIT/GPL", based on your SPDX.

Ah, I didn't realize that was a valid option for MODULE_LICENSE. I guess anything containing "GPL" works with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?

Thanks for the review!
