No, there's a dependency and the Linux driver does syscon_node_to_regmap
on the device tree node's parent but that's how the syscon-reboot-mode binding
is documented:

  The SYSCON mapped register is retrieved from the
  parental dt-node plus the offset. So the SYSCON reboot-mode node
  should be represented as a sub-node of a "syscon", "simple-mfd" node.

How would you prefer this being done instead?

Cheers,
Ahmad
