Why does the driver need these constants; shouldn't it simply support
0..n SW group IDs that all work the same way? Or, is there some reason
for it to know the identities?

Should this file document which values are valid for which SoCs? Should
there be separate files for each SoC; I don't know if it's guaranteed
that IDs won't be re-assigned between different SoCs.

Are those 3 values needed by DT files, or just the driver?
