Which is kind of proof that this syscon was just to substitute
incomplete hardware description (e.g. missing clocks and phys). We
should have rejected it. Just like we should reject them in the future.

There are just few cases where syscon is reasonable. All others is just
laziness. It's not only starfivetech, of course. Several other
contributors do the same.
