So IIUC the two mmsys block ares basically the same, they provide the
same, a reset controller, a clock controller and being able to write
to the routing registers, and what you only need to identify is which
one is is vdosys0 and which one is vdosys1 to apply different routing
tables? Can these routing tables change at runtime? Or are they
hardware fixed?
