The first patch introduces a new capability bit to disable usage of the USRIO register on platform not implementing it thus avoiding some external imprecise aborts on ARM based platforms. The two last patchs implements a DT fallback to get the software defined capabilities from DT in the case of the generic compatible form is used. These properties will permit support of future implementations of macb/gem without the need for adding new static structures in the code.
