I think here the former description matches better
each set of registers has one very specific purpose (pinctrl, GPIO,
I2C, RTC, IR receiver, ...). there's only one exception inside the
whole AO region called "PMU" (which mostly contains power management
registers and a few clock control bits)

I can send patches for the simple-mfd conversion (syscon won't be
involved) so Rob can also give his feedback.

in my opinion this would not change the dt-bindings for the AO ARC
remote-processor.
Please let me know if there would be any dt-bindings changes so I can
also include this when updating this series.


Best regards,
Martin
