Leo, thanks for testing this out.  Shiwanglai, please add Suzuki and
myself to future revision of this set - this will help you getting a
timely response for your work.

As Leo pointed out we already have support for replicators that don't
have a register map and the same thing should be done in this case.
But contrary to what was done for replicators, I think we should keep
the drivers in the same file as Russell did here[1].  That way we can
keep all things funnel at the same place and reduce the amount of
kernel configuration options.

Regards,
Mathieu
