Ok to these as well as the above.

The DRV is the voter for an execution environment (Linux, Hypervisor,
ATF) in the RSC. The RSC has a lot of other registers that Linux is not
privy to. They are access restricted. The memory organization of the RSC
mandates that we know the DRV id to access registers specific to the
DRV. Unfortunately, not all RSC have identical DRV configuration and the
register space is also variable depending on the capability of the RSC.
There are functionalities supported by other RSCs in the SoC that are
not supported by the RSC associated with the application processor,
while not many RSCs' support multiple DRVs. Therefore it doesn't benefit
describing the whole RSC as it is not usable from Linux (because of
access restrictions).

Yes it would appear so. Because the register space is optimized based on
the functionality supported by the RSC, the TCS for a DRV is at a
different offset in the RSC. Hence the explicit description of the
address in the binding.
