Looks like "syscon" should be dropped, it is using a syscon,
but it is no syscon.

Isn't it easiest to just make this driver be a subnode of the
syscon so it can just refer to its parent to find the
syscon it needs?

Just state that in the bindings and make an example where
it is inside the syscon.
