I regret having 'syscon' as a compatible, so nak on a 2nd flavor of it. 
It's only purpose is a hint to Linux to automagically create a regmap for 
you.

All you need is the specific compatible, atmel,sama5d2-sfr, and you can 
imply the rest of this from it. That's assuming the conclusion is a 
register read/write interface on SMC is a good idea, but I don't think 
it is.
