Our SoCs have a lot of glabal registers which is hard to be managed in current syscon structure. Same register's offset is different in different SoCs. We used chip config macro to manage them which prevents driver to be compiled in all-in-one image. After talking with Arnd and Rob at Linaro Connect 2017, I got the idea to extend syscon with #cells support. And furthe, I added syscon names support to help access multiple syscon nodes more easier. These patches has been tested in our internal tree about 2 years. They have no side effect to current syscon consumer.
