I see, so if we use the same design as v3, then the number of nodes is
established at compile-time, and ends up being specific to sdm845. I'm
fine with either approach, maybe leaning towards the hardcoded
#defines you have now, and waiting to do the refactoring until you
actually have two SoCs that can use this.
