Yes, I agree.
They are equivalent.
But sprd SoCs have too many registers and the representation might matter.
Here's some real code from local,
orca.dtsi:1276: syscons = <&pmu_apb_regs REG_PMU_APB_RF_PD_AUDCP_SYS_CFG MASK_PMU_APB_RF_PD_AUDCP_SYS_FORCE_SHUTDOWN >,

orca.dtsi:1288: syscon-names = "sysshutdown", "coreshutdown", "deepsleep", "corereset",
orca.dtsi-1289- "sysreset", "reset_sel", "sysstatus", "corestatus", "sleepstatus",
orca.dtsi-1290- "bootprotect", "bootvector", "bootaddress_sel";
ud710.dtsi:1268: syscons = <&aon_apb_regs REG_AON_APB_SDIO0_CTRL_REG MASK_AON_APB_SDIO0_EMMC_CARD_PRESENT_32K>,

ud710.dtsi-1274- "sd_hotplug_debounce_en",
ud710.dtsi-1275- "sd_hotplug_debounce_cn";
Compare to following,
sd_hotplug_protect_en-syscon = <&aon_apb_regs REG_AON_APB_SDIO0_CTRL_REG MASK_AON_APB_SDIO0_EMMC_CARD_PRESENT_32K>;
sd_hotplug_debounce_en-syscon = <&aon_apb_regs REG_AON_APB_SDIO0_CTRL_REG MASK_AON_APB_SDIO0_EMMC_CARD_PROTECT_32K>;
sd_hotplug_debounce_cn-syscon = <&aon_apb_regs REG_AON_APB_SDIO0_CTRL_REG MASK_AON_APB_SDIO0_EMMC_CARDDET_DBNC_THD_32K>;
.....
For me, my choice would be the former.
It looks more clear.

I like this idea. syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle_args() would be better?
May I impelement them both?
But I will be OK if no one here except me likes to expand name list.
Best,
