I dunno. I think it is fine to use the ECALL to be honest - I'd rather
that than a property that someone may omit.

That said, for the cache management stuff we are gonna need for
PolarFire SoC, we will need to have info from the DT AFAICT - marchid
etc are all set to zero on our platform so cannot be used.

I was thinking about using the compatible instead, but...
we've not tried to "forward"-port our stuff from 5.15 yet as we have
not yet completed testing testing on our vendor tree (and need some PCI
changes accepted upstream first anyway), as a result I have not looked
into what's needed there for use with alternatives. We've been using a
pre-alternatives version of that patchset from around the 5.15
development point in time instead.

Thanks,
Conor.
