Sure, but hardware teams have moved on from this IP so I doubt we can even get them to put it into a test chip. In fact, the devices a generation before the ones Srini is working on (msm8660 for example) have a periph ID of 0x41180 so we need to override that ID in DT with this fake ID for things to even work.
