Since you are not actually comparing the "compatible" property here,
I would suggest adding another function here, something like
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname() that you can use in device
drivers that are not DT-enabled. I would also recommend enclosing
that function in #ifdef CONFIG_ATAGS.

Which code do you have in mind that would call this anyway?
The changeset description does not really explain what ATAG
boot support in syscon is good for.

These two code paths look equivalent. Why not always use the second
one? Also, you might want to convert this to devm_ioremap_resource()
to simplify the code in the process.
