Don't use find_and_map; it was a stupid API that I never should have written.

Instead, use for_each_compatible_node() or for_each_matching_node() to
iterate over them until you find the one with the correct reg address.

Then you can use of_iomap() to map the device registers.

Match on the reg property instead of cell-index; I'll probably be
dropping the cell-index property from future 5200 device trees because
it just ends up duplicating information already provided by reg.
