Thanks Jaewon for your patch. After more discussions and remarks from
David, I think we should go with dedicated USI driver instead of using
sysreg/syscon in every I2C/UART/SPI.

Therefore I want to remove my reviewed-by and instead ask to work on
dedicated USI driver (option 1 from Chanho's email).

It's not that this solution is anything bad, just it won't be flexible
to support USIv1. It will also lead to duplicated - and possibly
conflicting - USI configuration in each of drivers (I2C/UART/SPI).
