They have surely based the hardware on the PL022. A diff document would
surely be useful, can Cirrus answer that kind of questions for you?

Hm, it has to be *really* different to warrant a totally new driver
duplicate code is never fun...

Looks like it's been blanked out so atleast it is not identifying itself as
a PL022 anymore.

It could also be that PL022 and the Cirrus controller has some common
ancestor...
