Even if we get the absolute address of syscon, we have to do the
subtraction only for the newer dtbs (previous dtbs already have only the
offset). Do you recommend adding a new property to differentiate between
older dtbs and newer dtbs? Any other suggestions here?

Syscon doesn't directly expose any API's to write to it's register.
Rather it uses regmap APIs to read/write to it's register. I'm not sure
if it's possible to add regmap APIs to write to a register with absolute
address. Any hints?

Thanks
