The devices talking to it already are devices - but they will be input
devices, watchdogs, etc. They already belong in existing classes.
I also don't believe the mrst ipc is enumerable either. If it was
enumerable it would make a lot more sense.
Having the mrst a platform device which itself contains the hardcoded
magic addresses definitely sounds a good move.
