This also looks reasonable to me.
btw, see my last reply to mark in another mail.
I'm not sure but Mark may want something slightly different as this one,
imx_syscon_lookup directly return regmap rather than dev, then we do not
need implement any register read/write API in imx-syscon driver, just
using the exist regmap r/w API is ok.
