SYSCFG compatible, which does not have children, with a new dedicated
one for SCPSYS block.

Technically, that's not a SCPSYS block, but called SYSCFG in MT8365, but the
meaning and the functioning is the same, so it's fine for me.

So there are two syscfg blocks? With exactly the same set of registers
or different?


I'm not sure about that, I don't have the MT8365 datasheet...

Adding Alexandre to the loop - I think he can clarify as he should have the
required documentation.

Unfortunately, The SCPSYS (@10006000) isn't documented, but according to the functionnal specification, it seems to have only one block.

I don't have the history why SYSCFG instead of SCPSYS.

I've tested your serie and have a regression at the kernel boot time:
[ 7.738117] mtk-power-controller 10006000.syscon:power-controller: Failed to create device link (0x180) with 14000000.syscon

It's related to your patch 3/4.
