This may be an opportunity to also add EDMA3- and HWA-related properties 
to the platform.  Then some of our resource managers (e.g. DMAN3, 
EDMA3LLD, RMAN, etc) could 'auto-assign' base addrs, etc rather than 
rely on the user cfg script?

I'm also wondering if, on a multi-core device, the DSP could/should be a 
'peripheral' of the GPP.  Codec Engine has some hard-coded uglies in our 
ARM-side cfg where, given a Platform, we'd like to know more details 
about the DSP (e.g. is it a C64P or C674?) - and I'm not sure there's a 
reliable way to determine that across all devices(?).
