I agree. It's really just a "simple-bus" kind of bus. Except that it'll need another compatible value to make the host1x driver bind to it. But we should be able to make it work without creating a completely new bus. I guess the "ranges" property could specify 0x54000000 as the base address and child nodes could use offsets relative to that. Maybe even that is overkill, though. Thierry
