The thing is that i'm trying to fix all the mess of years of keeping bad
Documentation and having dts that never followed Documentation. It's
really nothing silent/hidden. You add review tag to a patch? That won't
change. The bot alert me of some bugs? I push another revision with the
bug fixed. (I understand I should not send that much revision in the
same day but still considering the slow process of reviewing the c code,
I prefer to keep the Documentation part correct and ready)

If you notice the changes across the different patch, it's very minimal
and 99% of it has not changed. Nothing silent just me addressing warning
from the bot. About the trust issue...
Is it really a syscon addition that bad? Again the original
Documentation was just bad so why should we care to have a 100% 1:1
conversion if it should have been not accepted in the first place.
The addition of this new syscon is because in the current dtsi it's
there and I assume it's there as this is a global accessor and probably
other driver would access the same regs (so it's also a syscon)

I understand the complain about putting too much revision... But NAK
this cause I'm trying to fix all this mess just because more and more
problems are coming up and I'm trying to fix them. It's a bit sad.
Hope you can understand that it's not my interest to push silent changes
or other nasty stuff. It's just me fixing the mess and trying to at
least have the Documentation part ready while I wait for c code review.
