I'm simply wondering, if the above cp15 works with Cortex-A9, do we
still need SCU DT node? At least from Cortex-A15 TRM, it seems that
SCU is tighly integrated into CPU core and it doesn't have any user
control. So Cortex-A15 doesn't seem to need to configure SCU. For
Cortex-A7, I haven't yet found S/W configurable register definitions
in TRM. So if neither of A15/A7 need SCU base, would the above cp15
intructions be enough?

True if SCU DT node is still necessary.
