The first patch introduces a new capability bit to disable usage of the
USRIO register on platform not implementing it thus avoiding some external
imprecise aborts on ARM based platforms.
The two last patchs implements a DT fallback to get the software defined
capabilities from DT in the case of the generic compatible form is used.
These properties will permit support of future implementations of macb/gem
without the need for adding new static structures in the code.
