That would be probably best set up the same way we have already set up
for example omap4_padconf_global: tisyscon at 4a1005a0. Then drivers can
access it using regmap, see how drivers/regulator/pbias-regulator.c
sets up the pbias regulator with regmap for MMC.

If it's more than a mux, then it should not be set up as a pinctrl
register. Looks like CONTROL_DSIPHY is already available for drivers
via regmap as it falls into the *_padconf_global mappings for omap4
and omap5.
