Exynos PMU chip controls different power states of Exynos, so mainly it
does power management related stuff. Apart from this it has few registers
which controls PHY of various IP blocks of Exynos such as USB, HDMI,
ADC etc. But these phy controlling register are currently being accessed
via "syscon" driver provided regmap APIs. For same the same reason
Exynos PMU has second compatibility string as "syscon".
