This feels way too much SW. We design hardware resources in
owner-independent, meaning each device is the owner. Most of Linux
frameworks, including listed clock, reset and ICC, support resource
sharing for multi-owner case.


If this is not SW related, then I claim that compatible defines whether
services is owner of the hardware or not.

Also, unresponded Sashiko comments.
