What I mean is snvs-lpgpr referenced elsewhere in DT, not by some
driver? You are not using the nvmem binding here so it doesn't seem
like it is. If that's the case, then you don't need this node. The
only information here is the offset which can be part of a driver for
the parent node. To put it another way, we don't want to fill DT with
a node per register.
