This structure was in the original patch, I left it in there, only
removed the inclusion of the powerpc header file, which seemed to
be misplaced.

Right, it just didn't make any sense after the conversion. I couldn't
figure out what the intention was for the fallback. Virtualized environments
are an interesting case, but I'd also argue that a virtualized system is
not the original SoC anyway, so reporting the physical SoC as the
main system in the guest is a bit strange and we probably want to
come up with a different solution there.

In soc_device, we probably want to just report the type of hypervisor
in this case, which is what most users would expect there. For the
specific case of the mmc driver (are there any real use cases where
you'd pass on the mmc controller to a guest, as opposed to passing either
an emulated block device or the mmc device on an emulated mmc host?),
that means we have to come up with a different solution, but then
we'd be free to work around this by modifying the DT node of the mmc
device.

Ok. Ideally I think we'd even look up the specific SoC names from the
SVC rather than the compatible string. I just didn't have a good list
for those to put in the driver.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regmap/regmap.txt

We had a little screwup here, basically regmap (and by consequence, syscon)
always defaulted to little-endian way before that was documented, so it's
too late to change it, although I agree it would have made sense to document
regmap to default to big-endian on powerpc.

Good point. This proably means that specifying both the "guts" and "syscon"
compatible strings implies having to also specify the endianess explicitly
both ways, because otherwise we break one of the two bindings.

Correct. Do we have a reason to convert the mfspr() though? I don't really
see an improvement over the current state if we do that, and for new devices
that might need the erratum workaround, we could add a DT property that would
be preferred to both.
