Also, FWIW, recall this related discussion and other possible DT
binding:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg219992.html

drivers/bus/orion-mbus.c feels like the right option, but when I
looked at it, getting the DT binding, and full dynamicness setup
seemed like it would be best done after non-DT support was purged, and
that is somewhat contigent on getting the irqchip and timer stuff
sorted (see my first attempt at that):

Guess it depends where you want to draw the line on cleanups before
something can be accepted..

Jason
