+Description:
+		Read/Write PMU global general storage register value,
+		GLOBAL_GEN_STORAGE{0:3}.
+		Global general storage register that can be used
+		by system to pass information between masters.
+
What kind of information ? Is there any semantics for that ?
Why does EEMI lack APIs for that if it's critical, giving access to
such information to userspace may not be good idea.
+		The register is reset during system or power-on
+		resets. Three registers are used by the FSBL and
+		other Xilinx software products: GLOBAL_GEN_STORAGE{4:6}.
+
FSBL ?

For what is it used ?
+		Usage:
+		# cat /sys/.../zynqmp-firmware/ggs0
+		# echo <mask> <value> > /sys/.../zynqmp-firmware/ggs0
+
+		Example:
+		# cat /sys/.../zynqmp-firmware/ggs0
+		# echo 0xFFFFFFFF 0x1234ABCD > /sys/.../zynqmp-firmware/ggs0

Ditto
+		This register is only reset by the power-on reset
+		and maintains its value through a system reset.
+		Four registers are used by the FSBL and other Xilinx
+		software products: PERS_GLOB_GEN_STORAGE{4:7}.
+		Register is reset only by a POR reset.

Ditto
