I don't hardware to test if the Keystone infrastructure porting is right or not
and thats my main concern. Also the Keystone SoC driver maintainer can also have
the option of keeping the current structure and that's why I sent the e-mail
asking for opinions about the subject.

Yep indeed! I will do the 3 patch way as you are suggesting.

Thanks!
