Sure, but hardware teams have moved on from this IP so I doubt we can
even get them to put it into a test chip. In fact, the devices a
generation before the ones Srini is working on (msm8660 for example)
have a periph ID of 0x41180 so we need to override that ID in DT with
this fake ID for things to even work.
