A very good intention, I just think it's good to keep the PAS driver
only dealing with PAS targets and work on reducing the duplication in
other ways; keeping the logic as simple as possible.

I'm sorry for not finding the time to provide you this feedback earlier.

For the Hexagon based non-PAS WCSS remoteproc in IPQ8074 we're creating
a new driver [1], in doing so I extracted some common helper functions
that reduces the duplication between the drivers and there are a few
more things on the way (e.g. reduce the code needed to deal with
memory-regions).

Please have a look at either extending this (non-PAS, non-MSA) driver to
cover the ADSP as well. It's hard for me to see how the exact details
will look after extracting the clocks and resets to their appropriate
drivers, if it doesn't fit the details we should work further on making
sure frameworks and helper functions reduces the logical duplication
between drivers.

I like Rob's argument here (just use readl/writel) and it does suit our
current style.
