Any answer?

It looks backwards to me. Don't the consumers want to consume a
particular RSC, i.e. apps or display RSC, so they can choose where to
put the bcm vote and then those RSCs want to find MMIO registers for
mmss_noc or mem_noc that they have to write to tune something else like
QoS? If the MMIO space is the provider then I'm lost how it can
differentiate between the RSCs that may be targetting the particular
NoC. 

Maybe I've just completely missed something and this is all decided
already. If so, sorry, I'm just trying to understand.
