ok, agree. While trying to add Q6 support for ipq8074, which is again
a self-authenticating PIL with mdt, i can try this.

The initialization sequence is exactly the same as what was done for
msm8996(Q6) one added in this series. So for reusing this driver for Q6,
the Q6 + MPSS has to be decoupled and driver has to look common for
Q6 + any, (ie) Q6 + mpss (or) Q6 + wcnss. Incase if that's not neat,
atleast the Q6 initialization sequence can be reused.
