I'm still not 100% convinced that the blk-ctrl is the right consumer
for the interconnect, since it doesn't do any busmastering. However,
the design looks much better than the syscon based one.
I mostly worry about being able to extend this to do more than the
current static configuration if/when NXP decides to release more
information about the NoC configuration options or someone reverse
engineers this part of the SoC. I still hope that we could optimize NoC
usage by setting real bandwidth and latency limits for the devices
connected to the NoC. As the blk-ctrl doesn't have any clue about this
right now, we can't really set any more specific requests than the
current INT_MAX ones.
I guess we could extend things in this way by making the blk-ctrl not
only be a simple consumer of the interconnect, but aggregate requests
from the devices in the blk-ctrl domain and forward them to the NOC
provider, right?

Lucas
