I need time to look at this (hopefully before Monday but stuff might
come up) but I definitely think it would help to merge an initial driver
that doesn't handle the extra register range and then deal with the
extra register range as an incremental patch on top of that - this would
mean we can get the common code that's used on all boards (which is
fairly straighforward IIRC) merged and then whatever solution is used
for the more complicated integrations can be handled separately.  If
nothing else it'd make it easier to think about the more complicated
cases if we're looking at just that code in one patch.

But no need to do that if you don't want to, it might help speed things
along though.
