Thank you both.

The Java and Hawaii chips also have the same Unicam block, but appear
to be missing CMI totally based on the BCM Android kernel source.
They aren't chips I have any interest in, but as Eric says it can be
supported easily via the compatible string, or by making the resource
optional. The latter is easy to do, so I'll add that to v4 of the
patch set.

Cheers,
