I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree.  I see the DSDs 
as being SOC-specific, and therefore belong in the SOC driver.  I'm 
still going to need an SOC driver to define the TLMM register layout.

But as I said earlier, I've already spent way too much time working on a 
driver that, in all likelihood, never be used in any production system 
anyway.

I look forward to reviewing the next version of your patch.

DSDs generally don't have the vendor prefix that DT properties do.

I'm not sure I agree with that.
