Hmmm, what exactly do you want to achieve with this?

The NMI controller won't be able to use it, since it's initialized
much earlier than syscon and regmap.

Moreover, the A31 doesn't seem to have this system controller, or at
least this overlap.

And since on the A20, registers seem to have one usage only, so I
guess we can just split this IP into several nodes, just like we did
with the NMI.
