The SMMU_CSR is a Xilinx-specific integration block for the ARM SMMUv3. 
It provides interrupt enable, status, and clear registers for SMMU 
interrupt sources before forwarding them to the parent GIC. The binding 
models the CSR block as a whole, allowing future integration-specific 
functionality to be added if needed.
