AFAICT, there are no upstream drivers that bind to that string
directly and all of the "consumers" of this node request it as a
syscon device. The only code I could find that does so and that is
shared between i.MX7 and i.MX6Q is i.MX PCIe driver which
distinguishes between variants based on its own compatibility string.

Those two register files are different, true, but I don't think there
are any users who try to use them as if they were the same/compatible.
