Maybe give the TRM team a feedback to use a little more human readable
naming? if I just ctrl+f "wiz" in the 10,000 page trm the first match
is: "CA bits can be swizzled between any bit positions via the
DDRSS_PHY_1053[23-0] PHY_ADR_ADDR_SEL_0 field" (it is not even in the
table of contents?)

However, if I search for serdes, and then go down to page 7773, "WIZ:
The WIZ acts as a wrapper for the SerDes, and can both send control
signals to and report status signals from the SerDes, and muxes SerDes
to peripherals"

just call it ti-k3-serdes-mux (since there are other TI serdes muxes..)?

You dont want to be on the brunt of something like [1] caused by, your's
truely..


Also this is never going to scale with the number of devices we are
spinning out.. one header per SoC? makes no sense to me.
