Turning the entire "simple-bus" region into a regmap using this
function is just as broken as having it as a "syscon". The core
problem we are solving by getting rid of the blanket syscon nodes
is that it causes multiple mappings of the same register. This
can cause issues with regmap caching, read–modify–write, etc..

What you want to do is add a subnode to the simple-bus, have that
encapsulate just the registers used for PCIe, and have the PCIe
node point to that. Then this patch isn't needed.

For an example, see how it's done for DSS[0].
