Ah, the property has been indeed removed. The driver now searches for
the system controller by the next compatible string:
"amd,pensando-elba-syscon" using the
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible() method. My mistake. Sorry for the
noise.

* Though personally I'd prefer to have a property with the phandle
reference in order to signify the connection between the system controller
and the SPI-controller. Otherwise the implicit DT bindings like having
the "amd,pensando-elba-syscon"-compatible syscon gets to be
hidden behind the DT scene. But seeing we have already got the Microsemi
platform with such semantic, I can't insist on fixing this.
