But it's not a single offset, for example the device_type (EP/RC) has 
bits for the two controllers side-by-side in GPR12.

Adding a "ctrl-id" property would fully describe the hardware from the 
start. If we add per-register information instead then when other 
registers are used we'll get DT compatibility headaches.

It's worth noting that 8qm/8qxp also have multiple controllers with a 
different set of bits placed differently in iomuxc.
