Existing driver has support for reg, if we modify now to support only syscon
then this driver will not work if some one wishes to use previous
kernel version's
dt and vice versa. Basically this breaks dt compatibility. Is that ok ?

Since the existing driver has support for reg and now if we modify it to
support syscon only then we break the dt compatibility with previous kernel
versions. So keeping support for both will help to avoid dt
compatibility issues.

I will change the driver if you still think syscon only support is fine.
Let me know your opinion.

I will address this in the next patch.

No, These are existing properties.
