These constants are part of the devicetree ABI, and I believe they
should be included with the binding.
To make this more concrete, I think these constants could be used as
array indices when initializing the corresponding banks of "bank_data"
in patch 2 (like you do when initializing scp_domain_data in the
scpsys driver).
