Is this case any different from all the phandle properties we have in
bindings that point to some misc registers somewhere else you need to
poke? If so, I'm not really a fan of duplicating the information.

We also have cases of of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL,
"foo-bar-syscon") which is a dependency expressed in the driver, but
not DT. In either case, adding 'depends-on' would be an ABI break as
you are requiring a DT change.

Isn't getting a regmap an API?
