What problems do you see here?  I'd like to avoid changing the
EDAC if possible.

We have 3 things (EDAC, fpga bridges, suspend) that need access
to the sdc.  They access 3 nonoverlapping sets of registers
within the sdc to get at 3 different sets of functionality.
Both EDAC and the fpga bridge are using syscon.  The suspend
code can't use syscon because it has to be assembly running
in OCRAM to enable self-refresh for the DDR.

Thor Thayer ended up using syscon for the EDAC after a thorough
discussion on lkml and several revisions of the EDAC driver that
tried it several different ways before finally ending up back
where he started.
