Hmm, not really. The ID here is what I copied from PrimeCell ID registers 
and the method of registration is taken from S5PV210. If I remove the 
override, it will read the same value from registers.

Well, that's kind of solution to make sure that it won't conflict with any 
future variant manufactured by ARM, I guess.
