Do you expect some issues using the scm driver APIs without the
any additions in the DT ? I mean can't you auto-discover by using the
APIs. I haven't looked at the driver or any other patches in the series,
but I would like to know if we can avoid adding any new bindings if it
can be discovered via those SCM driver APIs.
