:) Thank you for the review and comments!

Thank you. I'm not completely clear on this. Are you saying this 
function should test for a new compatible that is assigned to Stratix10 
in the binding ("altr,sys-mgr-s10") instead of the machine name?

Yes. I will change.

Yes. It is more complex but I was concerned about re-implementing large 
parts of syscon for the ARM32 case.

However, re-implementing it will simplify the driver and keep both ARM32 
and ARM64 together. Thanks for the suggestion - I will change it.

OK. I will change this.

Thanks so much for the review!
