I just noticed the dm816x.dtsi says:
ocp {
compatible = "ti,omap3-l3-smx", "simple-bus";
This is incorrect: the DM81xx (and siblings like the AM335x) use
Arteris FlexNOC for the L3 interconnect, same as omap4/5 and vayu, not
SonicsMX. (In general everything on the DM81xx seems to be
omap4-generation)
