Is this for MIPS, Loongarch or both?

It looks like the driver only deals with identifying the SoC, but
is at the moment unrelated to the other functionality you mention
in the changelog text.

Please explain in the text whether you plan to add more functionality
in this driver later, of if this is just meant to be set up by
bootloader/firmware.

Is there a need to include the header from another driver?
If not, just fold it into the driver file itself.

Please limit this to to the appropriate targets like

        depends on MACH_LOONGSON64 || LOONGARCH || COMPILE_TEST

so this does not show up in 'make oldconfig' for users of
other architectures.

This should not be marked as __packed, since MMIO
registers have to be accessed atomically while packed
registers have to be accessed byte-wise on CPUs without
unaligned access.
