That does not seem relevant to the problem with depending on MFD_SYSCON.

That doesn't make them present in the binding document...

Why not just have separate devices for each of the register maps?

Don't guess, understand what the code is doing.

If this is a SPMI device it needs to register a SPMI device not a
