For other firmware interfaces like this, we tend to list the specific commands
that the firmware understands. If you think there might be different versions
to consider, you might want to model this like

Why not just use an inline assembly?

This can be written in a nicer way as

static int __init kona_l2_cache_init(void)
{
	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CACHE_L2X0))
		return 0;
	...
}

To remove the need for the #ifdef.

Why are you calling bcm_kona_smc_init() and kona_l2_cache_init() from init_irq()?

It seems completely unrelated to interrupt handling.
