Alright. Well sometimes access restrictions aren't there, so this isn't
a good assumption to make.

I think qcom,drv-id covers that, no?

If we're not describing the whole RSC in the RSC binding then we're not
going to get very far. From what I can tell, this binding describes one
DRV inside of an RSC instead of the whole RSC. Yes we'll probably never
use the ATF part of the RSC in Linux, but we may use the hypervisor part
if we use KVM/Xen so the binding should be describing as much as it can
about this device in case some software needs to use it.
Put another way, even if the "apps" RSC is complicated, we should be
describing it to the best of our abilities in the binding so that when
it is used by non-linux OSes things still work by simply tweaking the
drv-id that we use to pick the right things out of the node.
Or we're describing the RSC but it's really a container node that
doesn't do much besides hold DRVs? So this is described at the wrong
level?
