Answered to this in the other email, but can repeat my question. Do you propose a new behaviour? Otherwise how does it work right now?

LPSS is a hardware concept. It might be not exactly one island on the SoC, but it pretty much includes all those serial bus controllers and DMA.

That would work for me. Will update it in next version. I'm still give a time to answer for the questions above. I want us to be on the same page.
