So in this case base hw block seems similar but consists of multiple Execution Environment (EEs) and all of these contain only data registers. Only secure environment has configuration. Each one has its own register space. In a case where we dont have secure world, we can point to secure environment with v1 ops, so driver shall configure and run.
