This doesn't look right, sorry:

A syscon device is defined as a collection of registers that
have no logical grouping within them but that can be seen
as a single device. What you have here instead are two syscon
nodes that each have only a single 8-byte register.

What are the other registers surrounding those? I would expect
something like

	crmu0: syscon at 03010000 {
                 compatible = "syscon";
                 reg = <0x03010000 0x10000>;
	};

and then use an offset into the syscon from the rtc node, like

	iproc_rtc: rtc at 03026000 {
		compatible = "brcm,iproc-rtc";
		reg = <0x03026000 0x1000>;
		iso_cell_syscon = <&crmu0 0xc038>;
		bbl_auth_syscon = <&crmu1 0x4c74>;
	};

Note also that you got most of the naming wrong:

- node names should be generic strings like "rtc", "syscon", "pci" etc.
  The specific strings are defined in ePAPR.
- unit addresses should match the first 'reg' property and
  not start with '0x'.
- it seems strange that the rtc has only 12 bytes of registers,
  though that may actually be correct.
