I might have a minor vote here. Is there any reason why you have to
instantiate the device from DT?
It looks like a software interface. Ideally software should not be
described in DT (e.g. this can be instantiated from imem
driver-to-be).
Or we can follow the RPM master-stats approach, where the device is a
top-level device, having handle pointers to the sram regions.
