TPG is in process of being upstreamed by qcom.
I think the list of registers above should be included in the dts
because the DTS is a description of hardware, not a description of
camss/rdi.
The point of DTS is to do that, describe hardware and to be consumable
outside of the upstream linux kernel.
u-boot, BSD, potentially even a downstream Linux kernel or driver.

We've run into trouble with that in Iris.

The right thing to do is to describe everything that targets the HLOS -
main CPU.
For non CPU targets - like say setting up the SMMU for the ICP - we
could add those mappings in with iommu-map later.
The CPU side SID map should be complete. It doesn't divulge any
propitiatory information or secret sauce, it just makes our lives easier
in the end.
