If your this patch works on your platform, then the diff from arm_mhu
tells the controller is the same but only with re-ordered registers.
And you already call it 'MHU' :)

It is unlikely other platforms will come with more random register
arrangements of MHU.

Perhaps you didn't get my suggestion.

It is a shame if we need to copy a driver only due to changed register
offsets. Let me give it a shot and see how worse off we would be.
Thanks.
