Will do.

I suppose it could, but I don't think it would make much sense. In any
case, I did it this way because that seemed to be the way the syscon
driver is used in lots of other cases, cf. all the occurrences of
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() and the corresponding bindings - I
don't think I've seen any of those cases represent the syscon-using node
as a child of the syscon node.

Thanks, that was actually a leftover from an earlier version.
