Hi Hervé,

The way I had imagined this was to not need an if() check
at all but unconditionally map the syscon registers in the
reset driver.

The most important part here is to have sensible bindings
that don't need to describe the difference between PCI
and SoC mode. This seems fine for the lan966x case, but
I'm not sure why you need to handle sparx5 differently here.
Do you expect the syscon to be shared with other drivers
on sparx5 but not lan966x?

I don't thinkt this bit matters too much and what you suggest
works fine, I just want to be sure I understand what you are
doing.
