It's Memory Controller address with physical address space. I don't know why this
address is required. It's vendor specific address. If exynos_smc_readsfr is ambiguous,
then it will drop at this time.

Right, it's also vendor specific command.

To read SFR, it send r0 = -101, r1 =  (0x3 << 30) | ((addr) >> 2), r2 = r3 = 0;

exactly. I refered the compiled generated codes. I'll change it.

I'll change it.
