I understood your concern. But the syscon driver need use the MMIO
devices' resources (such as address mapping, clock management and so
on), if move this to further up stack, I am afraid the update_bits()
can not use the resources in 'struct regmap_mmio_context'. Do you have
any good suggestion? Thanks.
