These above three change sets have some implications for dual-chip
(Cortex-A5/Cortex-M4) configurations.  Epecially those running MQX.
There is not harm to define the register space (except DT size).
However, if you activate drivers that manipulate the registers for all
systems, then there is no choice to have MQX work on the 2nd core.

I think that Shawn Guo already did a patchset to remove stuff from the
vf610.dtsi to the machine/configuration DT files.
