What is this dfx-registers, exactly? It has no children, so why is it a
simple-bus?

>From the above, and the patch adding the corediv driver, it looks like
the corediv-clock actually lives in this block, so I don't understand
why the corediv-clock is sitting in internal-regs with a sideband
reference to dfx.

Thanks,
