Hi Rob,
So far, there's nothing to guarantee this is the only version of SMPro
and neither firmware version nor features that are discoverable.
In fact, it was "ampere,ac01-smpro" specifically in my v1. But this is
the "ampere,smpro" in arch/arm/boot/dts/nuvoton-npcm730-kudo.dts, that
is why it got changed to "ampere,smpro" to avoid changes in that dts file.
I'm thinking about change it back to "ampere,ac01-smpro" in next version
to make this compatible string more specific.

From v3, there is a "reg" property introduced for the child driver,
especially for the misc driver. This is unavoidable because other
properties might be introduced in future for other misc features.
