So you prefer to enable MT8173 and MT2701 scpsys drivers at the same
time if MTK_SCPSYS is true?

BTW, this patchset is based on 4.4-rc7, which lacks two patches from
your v4.4-next/soc. Should I rebase to v4.4-next/soc when I send v2
patch?


Best regards,

James

Well the driver gets enabled by the compatible string from the DT 
binding passed to the system. But yes, I prefer to have the code shared 
and just add the necessary data structures.

That would be a nice to have.
