Since actmon is not well-supported for the previous chips (e.g. T210,
T186, T194, and etc) in this patch series, it's essential to make the
specification of regs property optional for the previous chips.

Enablement/Disablement of actmon won't affect the host1x main functionality.
Its main job is to monitor the engines behind the host1x and serve for
telemetry purpose.

I could update the commit message to include the above reason. Please
let me know if more information is required.


Thanks,
Johnny
