These are generic drivers, so they need offset as they do not match any specific programming model. You are not making a generic device. Address offsets are not suitable in most cases for DTS.

You do not have here simple-mfd and it still does not explain Rob's comment and regmap. > https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm.dtsi#L585 > https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mn.dtsi#L586 > https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp.dtsi#L451 > https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq.dtsi#L616 > https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/mips/boot/dts/mti/sead3.dts#L93 > etc... > > Something like the below could also work, but I don't think it would represent the > HW accurately: > pwc: pwc@a3700000 { > compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc", "renesas,rzv2m-pwc", > "syscon", "simple-mfd"; > reg = <0 0xa3700000 0 0x800>; > }; > > pwc-gpio { > compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-gpio", > "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio"; > regmap = <&pwc>; > gpio-controller; > #gpio-cells = <2>; > }; > > pwc-poweroff { > compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-poweroff", > "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-poweroff"; > regmap = <&pwc>; > }; > > > I think the below describes things better: > pwc: pwc@a3700000 { > compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc", "renesas,rzv2m-pwc", > "syscon", "simple-mfd"; > reg = <0 0xa3700000 0 0x800>; > > gpio { > compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-gpio", > "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio"; > regmap = <&pwc>; You speak about two different things.
