Very much so. Future chips will have different register maps. Because of this, Arnd suggested that we use 'syscon' and 'regmap' to alleviate this maintenance burden. >> +example: >> + smpboot { >> + compatible = "brcm,brcmstb-smpboot"; >> + syscon-cpu = <&hif_cpubiuctrl 0x88 0x178>; >> + syscon-cont = <&hif_continuation>; >> + }; > > This looks odd.

Sure. Our H/W designers unfortunately didn't put the boot and restart registers into a logical grouping, or standard register interface. Instead, they're all over the place. How do you suggest naming the nodes to indicate this?
