Hi Thomas, Daniel,
Sure this driver should have a cleanup, but it still depends on old legacy vexpress calls.
The reason I submitted a change and a small cleanup over this driver is because the high similarities of the HW and avoiding adding a brand new driver cloning much of its functionalities.
I propose to study an eventual cleanup, but could this change be submitted for 4.7 since it's part of a base platform support serie ?
Thanks, Neil
