This patch allows the user to bind OpenCAPI SCM devices to the generic OCXL
driver.

This completely misses any explanation of why you'd want that.  The
what is rather obvious from the patch.

n is the default default.

Agree that this needs more explanation - both in the commit and the 
Kconfig help.

If there's no way to use the ID table from ocxl-scm directly, there 
should at least be a comment both here and in the ocxl-scm device ID 
table mentioning that you need to keep these in sync.

I'm wondering if we should upstream this. Is it of any use outside of 
some serious debug session for a developer?
Also we would now have 2 drivers picking up the same device ID, since 
the SCM driver is always registering for that ID, irrespective of 
CONFIG_OCXL_SCM_GENERIC

I think I'll drop this patch. It's easy enough to maintain out-of-tree
for our in-house SCM hardware engineers.
