That's not the question. Dmitry says that the SC7 support is not a
property of the SoC, but mostly a platform decision on whether the
firmware supports SC7 or not.

To me, that's a clear indication that this should not be hardcoded in
the driver, but instead obtained dynamically, via DT or otherwise.

This looks like a lot of undocumented assumptions on what firmware
does, as well as what firmware *is*. What I gather from this thread is
that there is at least two versions of firmware (a "proprietary
firmware" for "downstream kernels", and another one for mainline), and
that they do different things.

Given that we cannot know what people actually run, I don't think we
can safely remove anything unless this gets tested on the full spectrum
of HW/FW combination.
