I'm still not convinced that adding "arm,primecell-periphid" is the
right approach.

bits in a register to distinguish these two module types, or as I
suggested earlier, to use a DT property to indicate the module type (or
whether ATID is required).

Or have you tried to detect the last tnoc on a path and allocate ID for
it? (You can retrieve csdev->path).

Thanks,
