I was finally able to spend a bit of time digging deeper, I ported the
mvpp2 driver to your new API to test that dynamic PCS selection for
internal PCSs still works, and it's all good :)

Congrats on that work !

This didn't exercise all code paths, especially with the fwnode API but
you've tested that enough on your side :)

Maxime

The patch I used for testing if you're curious :

(I'll send that once this series land, or you can include it but I don't
want to delay your work in case the patch goes through rounds of reviews...)
