(reg-names is missing from the example)

because ipc is actually a register inside the Krait complex's global
clock control/distribution hardware block (it's located at 0x2011000).
 From what I can tell, this is the only non-clock/power register inside
there. I plan to send out a driver for this hardware block so that I can
switch the L2 aux source mux over to PLL8 instead of PXO (done with a
single register write to 0x2011028) and this mapping/use here is going
to conflict with that unless I only map the single register like is done
here.

I wonder if we'd be better off making this region a separate node and
having some phandle to it here in the RPM node? That way we have a
Can't we use syscon based on regmap here?  syscon is a better way to
share a common register space across multiple drivers.
How would the mux clock be registered? I'd like it to be registered by
the driver associated with this device with something like
devm_clk_register(). From what I can tell syscon wouldn't allow that
unless we extend the syscon driver to handle more specific compatible
strings.
