Right !

The ARC SDP platform is provided by arch/arc/plat-axs and arch/arc/boot/ax*
The IP Proto-typing kit folks here would just add a DT binding in there and things
would just work out of the box - and that stopped recently - hence the notion of
broken. But I agree one can't fix what can't be seen as broken. I just intervened
to make this comment - I'm sure you and Eugeniy can agree on a workable solution.
