Indeed. I had a look at the history but couldn't gather much. All I
could get is that this is one of those weird mix of all functionality on
ARM Ltd platforms which fits no subsystem. Me and Lorenzo has similar
issue on TC2 platform. Pawel seem to have plumed this system control
registers block into MFD and GPIO long back.

I assume all these happened in early days of DT.
I will drop this for now. I will take a look if these nodes can be made
better to align with standard gpio controller nodes.
