Sorry, I misunderstood your statement. Let me rewrite as below. Please 
let me know if this is okay.

"IMEM shouldn’t be treated as a syscon or simple-mfd because it’s really 
just on‑chip SRAM, not a block of control registers or a device with 
multiple hardware functions. In reality it’s just memory that different 
pieces of software read or write. Describing it as generic mmio‑SRAM 
keeps the model simple and closer to what the hardware actually is."
