So for now I keep to our special driver.

+1 for drivers/soc _and_ of_xlate for regmap instead of syscon.

driven by Mike Turquette's request to join mach-berlin clock node into a
single node, we currently use pinctrl driver (that must be somewhere in
Linus inbox) as a crutch to register a regmap for other drivers.

I've merged it actually, I think. Else hit me on any missed patches.

With a drivers/soc we'd have a good place for those messy, SoC-specific
registers to put a driver that hooks up to a single node and takes care
of registering e.g. pinctrl and reset the plain-old platform_device
way. It will be a little bit like arm/mach-foo before, but maybe we
have to admit that on SoCs there will always be some amount of
very specific, non-probable, non-describable registers that simply need
special treatment.

Hmmmm well I want to see that code before I believe it ... but
I get what you mean.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
