Oh well, these chips all seem to be the same. On cell, we have solved
the problem by introducing the 'cbe_regs' helper library that gives
access to all those miscellaneous registers to the individual device
drivers, so that not all of them need to scan the device tree for
the same registers and map them individually.

The problem with an of_platform_driver for this would be that you
can only have _one_ driver attached to the registers.

One thing that you could do is to list only this one register of the
SDC in the reg property, not all of the SDC.
