The 'ralink,sysctl' phandle is to read bootstrap register to be able
to derive xtal and a clk gate register for the peripherals.
The 'ralink,memctl' phandle is to read the cpu clock frequency from
the memory controller.

So there is not "main registers". I already put this as a child node
in v4 and I was told to get rid of child nodes. I need this as a
regmap to other DT node registers (sysctl, and memctl) to be able to
use the driver without specific architecture operations and properly
enable for COMPILE_TEST without dirty Makefile arch flags. Both sysctl
and memctl has no other child nodes, and I think that's why I was told
to avoid child nodes at the end. I explained here [0] current sysctl
and memctl in the mt7621 device tree and my view of the need for this
two syscons:

So to avoid to send again "a previous version" on this patch, please
guide me in the correct thing to do. Stephen, Rob, I will be really
happy with your help :)
