Russell, Olof, Arnd,

Where should this driver be placed? It's a completely Tegra-specific
module, and I don't believe there's any drivers/ directory or other
subsystem that's appropriate to house it right now. Should we go ahead
and create a drivers/arm/ for this? Perhaps drivers/misc/?

Honestly, to me it seems best to keep purely platform-specific drivers
like this in arch/arm/mach-tegra, since that's the most closely
Tegra-related directory.

Hiroshi,

This driver attempts to cover both Tegra20 and Tegra30. However, there's
almost no common code. I think it'd be best as separate tegra20-mc.c and
tegra30-mc.c.

This patch should include DT binding documentation.

That all said, I'd hold off on reposting this until we work out how the
MC/GART/SMMU parent-child relationship stuff is worked out; see my
immediately previous email.
