This seems a bit hacky, from the design perspective. This way the user
will have to worry about things like driver dependencies, making sure
everything is instantiated in a correct order, etc. It also hides the
details otherwise visible through "syscon-phandle" property in the
device tree. Can we instead rework it by overriding regmap
implementation for Exynos specifics, and then continue to use it in
the leaf drivers via "syscon-phandle" property?
