FAO DT chaps,
I'd be interested to hear your opinion about this.
> For devices which have a complete register for themselves, it is possible to
> place them next to the syscon device with overlapping reg ranges. The same is
> not possible for devices which only occupy bitfields in registers shared with

> For devices that are completely controlled by bitfields in the syscon address
> range, such as multiplexers or voltage regulators, allow to put child devices
> into the syscon device node.
