Maybe for some places we do not have that device node, e.g:
arch/arm/mach-imx/mach-imx6q.c

Probably we do not need the left two lookup, below seems also ok if needed:
np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL, "fsl,imx6q-anatop");
regmap = imx_syscon_lookup_by_phandle(np, property_name)
Then we do not need to handle how to find the compatible node.
