Thanks for your advice.


Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/syscon.yaml

already contains sunxi-specific compatibles, but
I hesitate to add more and more platform-specific stuff
in this file.

Maybe, I can add

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/socionext,uniphier-soc-glue.yaml

and then, check 'reg' and compulsory sub-nodes.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/syscon.yaml

already checks the 'reg' by the 'contains syscon' pattern,
but I can repeat it in my yaml file.

Thanks.
