Before I really dig into reviewing this driver, I'm going to ask you as simple
question.  This looks like a 1/2 completed port of an arch/ppc driver that uses
the device tree (incorrectly) to get the interrupt resources and that's about it.
Otherwise, it's just a straight up platform device driver.  Is that correct?

If that is the case, I think the driver needs more work before it can be merged.
It should get the DCR and MMIO resources from the device tree as well.  It should
be binding on compatible properties and not based on device tree paths.  And it
should probably be an of_platform device driver.

(There's also weird stuff like #if 0 code left in, etc).
