Please let me know your comments on this series.

Most of the IP's in AM335x is reused on AM43x and hence out of the
existing 77 hwmod ocpif entries on AM335x, 73 are reused on AM43x by
moving to a common array (only 4 is left AM335x specific).

Even the address space of those peripherals that are common between
AM335x & AM43x is same. And AM43x has only a few newer IP's as
compared to AM335x.

Afzal
