The System Control area is just like the PRCM area: it would be simpler
to define the specific registers in the associated drivers.

Here, instead of the syscon node, plus

+ emac: ethernet@1c30000 {
+ compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-emac";
+ syscon = <&syscon>;
+ reg = <0x01c30000 0x104>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 82 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
...

there would be no 'syscon' node and

+ emac: ethernet@1c30000 {
+ compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-emac";
+ syscon = <&syscon>;
+ reg = <0x01c30000 0x104>, /* EMAC */
+ <0x01c00030 4>; /* system control */
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 82 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
...
