Yes, I think that is best, if the hardware is clearly designed as
separate domains, this is what we should do by default in the
driver. For the Marvell case with its 10 separate ports, much
more address space would be wasted by having one domain per
port and that hardware let us work around it by remapping the
physical address space windows. For Exynos there is much less to
lose and I too cannot see how it would be done in the first
place.
