Sorry for the delay, I missed this reply.

I'm not sure I understand how this is overcomplicating things. The code
is pretty much unchanged, except that the AXI configuration can now have
driver-specified defaults before the DT is parsed. Perhaps I need to add
comments to make that a bit clearer?

While your version is certainly simpler it has the drawback that it no
longer allows the platform defaults to be overridden in device tree. I
would prefer if the defaults can be derived from the compatible string
but if need be for those defaults to still be overridable from device
tree.
