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.
