Well, the problem with adding this to the spi-pl022 driver (as a
vendor specific extension) is that this IP block unfortunately isn't
distinguishable from the standard ARM PL022 implementation (same
values in the PrimeCell identification registers). That's why I went
down the GPIO path...

Would it not be more straightforward to just register it as a platform
device in this case, or use a separate OF ID in the DT?  We appear to
specify a compatible string when registering AMBA devices even if we are
capable of identifying using the ID registers.

I'll drop this gpio patch for now and submit a patch on the pl022
driver instead. I read the arm,primecell binding and learned that
there is a property (arm,primecell-periphid) that can be used to
override the HW PrimeCell ID. Seems like something to use here, right?
