The pinctrl registers that are used are all continguous (0x80020100 -- 
0x8002011c) . There is a block called the "CnM RFU" which is near the 
pinctrl registers (but a different section in the datasheet) which has 
some peripheral controls. There is also some odd registers (eMMC PHY and 
RFU interrupts) in the MPP section of the document but outside the range 
that this driver uses. I can't tell if this is similar to the RFU block 
on the discrete Armada 64 SoCs, the integrated SoC/Switch chips tend to 
be a bit of a frankenstiens monster of IP blocks.

I really wish I could just share the datasheet but you know how hardware 
vendors like their NDAs.
