Yes, the point is indeed to only have a single node per platform (in
the platform dtsi) instead of two (one in the common h3-h5 dtsi and one
in the platform dtsi).

I guess updating the dt is not even a hard requirement after this
series: things will keep working with the dummy syscon node for giving
the EMAC driver access to the syscon registers.
