OK you had pcc-chan-id pcc-type and device-flags in the DSD style bindings
to begin with. I haven't understood device-flags here so can't comment on
that.

Can you elaborate ? I assume by that you must be able to get pcc-chan-id
right ? You must not need pcc-type as the pcc mailbox driver must handle
the type for you. If not, we may need to fix or add any missing support.

It must be same as what you would have specified in you new bindings
under "pcc-chan-id". I am confused as you say you were able to get the
PCC generic register information successfully but you still claim you
don't know how to set or use the address.

I am afraid, I don't have any as I am failing to understand the exact issue
you are facing.
Let me try to ask the question explicity here:
If you are just referring to just the <RegisterAddress,> in
Register (PCC, RegisterBitWidth, RegisterBitOffset, RegisterAddress, AccessSize)
then,
RegisterAddress is usually the offset in the comms address associated with
the PCC subspace ID specified in AccessSize. Yes the use of AccessSize for
the PCC subspace ID is bit confusing though.
You can either list all the registers with _CRS individually or the driver
can just use the PCC subspace ID in AccessSize and keep RegisterAddress = 0
but access individual offset based on its own knowledge. I haven't seen the
full driver yet but I assuming that's how you would have used if you went with
your DSD pcc-chan-id proposal.

Again I don't understand what you mean by that.
