Hi, Krzysztof

Thanks for the review.

For example:
in per1 syscon:
offset 0x4 is the register configuration for implementing eMMC extended functions, 
and offsets 0x40–0x4c are used for PLL7 register configuration.

In sys0 syscon:
offsets 0x0–0x2c are used for register configuration of PLL2 to PLL5, 
and offset 0x38 is used for register configuration to provide the product ID.

The JHB100 SoC is divided into many domains, including the per2 domain. 
Each domain has its own CRG and syscon.
