With the entire imem being represented as a syscon this will be
ioremapped once and all callers of syscon_node_to_regmap() (or one of
the other syscon getters) will get a regmap back that reference this one
mapping.

So doing it this way allow us to "map" sections of imem that is smaller
than PAGE_SIZE.


That said, it means that all imem users/clients should access imem
through this syscon regmap.
