Do you mean splitting the GFX IP and enable register into two nodes? We can't. Pinmux needs to check bit 6 and 7 in GFX064, which is in the middle the IP block: GFX060: CRT Control Register I GFX064: CRT Control Register II GFX068: CRT Status Register GFX06C: CRT Misc Setting Register >> +The Aspeed SoC Display Controller primarily does as its name suggests, but also >> +participates in pinmux requests on the g5 SoCs.

We want the regmap to be present whenever the GFX driver or pinmux is loaded. If we register it in pinmux but chose to not build in that driver, we lack the regmap. Same for the case where a user builds in the GFX driver and not pinmux. I think this means we want the syscon compatible string, unless my understanding is wrong?
