Sure I can remove them for now and add them when the I push other 
drivers
for review.

I used syscon and simple-mfd because three drivers touch the same 
address space.

Driver 1:
system cache core: The purpose of the driver is to partition the system 
cache
and program the settings such as priority, lines to probe while doing a 
look up
in the system cache, low power related settings etc.
The driver also provides API for clients to query the cache slice 
details,
activate and deactivate them.

Driver 2:
ECC to detect single and double bit errors in LLCC memory.
Implemented using EDAC framework.

Driver 3:
AMON: Activity Monitor to detect live lock ups in the HW block.
Implemented as SOC driver similar to driver #1.

Since the hardware block has multiple functional units the driver is 
implemented
to use syscon/regmap interface.
