Yes, of course.

I am not entirely sure which commit to use for fixes.

On one hand, we can use
https://lore.kernel.org/all/b2413460-ec8b-4c77-99b8-4c32b262439a@ti.com/
as the cause of the Fixes. Since, the change in behavior of the subsystem late
in the merge cycle caused this side effect, but, we could argue that
this patch fixes the subsystem for it's intended behavior and
unfortunately exposed issues in users of the syscon subsystem depending
on the "wrong" behavior.

OR

The code introduced long back which depended on the older syscon
behavior. but, then, we can argue that it was working fine at that
point.. and if we cherry-pick the fixup for stable, it is probably
inaccurate for the syscon behavior in older kernels?

Lee, Rob: Could you chime in with your suggestion?
