+Example:

+		reg = <0x1300000 0x50000>;

+
+		llcc: qcom,sdm845-llcc {

+			max-slices = <32>;
+		};
+
+		qcom,llcc-ecc {
+			compatible = "qcom,llcc-ecc";
+		};
+
+		qcom,llcc-amon {

+			qcom,fg-cnt = <0x7>;
+		};
+
+	};
The "qcom,llcc-ecc" and "qcom,llcc-amon" bindings doesn't seem to be
used by the driver in patch 2, and it's not clear how they are intended
to be used, so I think they should go from the binding for now.
Sure I can remove them for now and add them when the I push other 
drivers
for review.
I don't think you need syscon and simple-mfd, and I think you can
I used syscon and simple-mfd because three drivers touch the same 
address space.

Driver 1:
system cache core: The purpose of the driver is to partition the system 
cache
and program the settings such as priority, lines to probe while doing a 
look up
in the system cache, low power related settings etc.
The driver also provides API for clients to query the cache slice 
details,
activate and deactivate them.

Driver 2:
ECC to detect single and double bit errors in LLCC memory.
Implemented using EDAC framework.

Driver 3:
AMON: Activity Monitor to detect live lock ups in the HW block.
Implemented as SOC driver similar to driver #1.

Since the hardware block has multiple functional units the driver is 
implemented
to use syscon/regmap interface.
simplify the binding to a single node like:

	qcom,system-cache at 1300000 {
		compatible = "qcom,sdm845-llcc";
		reg = <0x1300000 0x50000>;
		#cache-slice-cells = <1>;
		max-slices = <32>;
	}

If ECC and AMON are option features, we can always add boolean
properties for those later, e.g. "has-ecc".

Thanks,
Mark.
