Yes, this is non-standard usage. Currently we do not have platform_device_id
entries for a "syscon" driver, so this field is untouched for a platform device
and we can use it. At least this works, but, of course, more experts should
fix me on this question if I think incorrect.

I agree, this is a more proper way, but in this case we should create a big table
here with records for each device...
