I've start to work olso on the function level as you do Uwe I'll take a look
this week-end to make merge both of them

but in my mind I like the idea to have pull of available ressources and the
you register the one your are interested in

as I plan to add the multi soc the idea of a structure is good so you have
generic ressource registration function for all IP available on AT91 and then
each soc declare it

Maybe we could use early devices for this or a dedicated framework so the soc
declare his capabilitues
