What we suggested in this patch is only an iso-functionality change. I believe from Greg's and your feedback that there is no objection on that small step. This is not the end-goal indeed. The second step would be to remove the intel_init.c file. I fully agree with you Vinod that this can be moved into the SOF driver, and we could do this in a follow-up step. We can also improve the partition between 'context' used by the child driver and information passed by the parent on SHIM registers and bases. I think we'd need to agree on the details of the second step, Bard and I can work on a proposal, but I don't see a disconnect on the direction to simplify the interface. That's the right thing to do.
