So beginning with 4cc0a3d9c547 i.MX21, i.MX27 and i.MX31 accidently use
the five-register interface. What are the practical consequences? Does
the driver still work properly on these SoCs?
I'm aksing because even with this patch...

...device tree based i.MX21/27/31 boards still use the five-register
interface. There are no i.MX21/31 based device tree boards, but there
are some i.MX27 boards with device tree support.
