I think intercon data should be in DT rather than some hardcoded table.

Yup. Based a memory dump I had done earlier, combined with the high
degree of similarity with centaurus and filling in the remaining

Note BTW that centaurus (in contrast with netra and subarctic)
actually has a pretty good interconnect chapter with full register
maps (except for the L3 firewals).

Note that reading invalid addresses while scanning does yield bus
errors you'd need to trap. There can be gaps, and some modules can be
larger than 0x100 (e.g. statcoll is variable in size), but other than
that it's just a matter of reading words in increments of 0x100 and
match with one of the known types:
        // 13'0001  target
        // 1a'0001  host
        // 2c'0001  bw_limiter
        // 2d'0001  rate_adapter
        // 31'0001  bw_regulator
        // 37'0001  flagmux
        // 38'0001  pwr_discon
        // 3a'0001  statcoll

The statcoll content should read as zeros after reset, so no risk in
accidently detecting a module inside it.

> Can we dig even more info?

Much can be auto-detected indeed, although it may be preferred to use
auto-detection to generate the data, assign missing names, and then
have other users use that data file.

If you know where the FlexNOC L3 intercon registers themselves are
located (called the "service network" in Vayu), then you can scan the
L3 with the following steps:

1. Detect all FlexNOC components as mentioned above. The components we
care about for now are Target NIUs and Flagmuxes, and optionally the
Host to decode errors while scanning the service network itself. In
this step you learn the association Target NIU regbase <-> Target NIU
ID since this is indicated in one of the regs.   Make sure error
logging is enabled for all targets.

2. Disable all L3 Target NIUs. You will temporarily lose access to all
peripherals, OCMC ram, and on subarctic also DDR memory (I think on
devices with a DMM you'd retain access to DDR memory). Note that the
service network itself isn't considered an L3 target.

3. Probe the whole address space with reads or writes, while trapping
data aborts (or use posted writes, those won't generate a data abort
but only signal the L3 error irq).  The smallest L3 ranges I've seen
so far were 64 KB, so scanning the whole address space would require
2^16 accesses. Shouldn't take too long. Ranges which are not routed to
L3 targets (e.g. the service networks themselves, or MPUSS-local
peripherals) should be manually excluded.

4. For each access, examine the Flagmux modules and Target NIU error
logs. (Then clear the error log for the next access) You should now
learn:
  a. which target was reached at that address
  b. to which target-local address it was mapped
  c. which bit of which flagmux is used for errors from this target
  d. to which bit of the top flagmux this flagmux connects

Note that usually a Target NIU will have its regs in the service
network of the L3 it belongs to, and report errors to the associated
Flagmux. Centaurus is a counter-example since for some odd reason its
DMM Target NIUs regs moved to the L3M service network, even though
they attach to the L3F and report errors to the L3F flagmux.

Distinguishing the top flagmux from the others, or even more general
flagmux topologies, can also be deduced programmatically but I'm not
sure that's worth the effort.

The target which seems to be reachable at many many address ranges,
none of which documented as containing any peripheral, is your "error
target" where unroutable packets are sent to to generate an error
reply.

5. Reenable all target NIUs.

6. Identify the L3 targets. This will be semi-automatic at best, since
there's no generally reliable way to do this. Not all peripherals have
a highlander-style revision register, and even the ones that do
sometimes have it at a non-zero offset or failed to pick a unique
function code to identify the module. (Or split it into two 16-bit
halves in consecutive 32-bit registers... nicely done, omap-i2c)

One interesting option is keeping a database of L3 targets across
multiple devices and taking advantage of design reuse: if you find a
target whose NIU ID and mapped memory ranges match those of a specific
target in another device, then there's a good chance they are in fact
the same. This is highly visible in centaurus vs subarctic for
example.

7. Some targets will be other interconnects; proceed with inspecting
those. (Fortunately the L4 intercons are easier to scan).
