No this is not one register only. PA_STATS is a set of registers. My bad
I should have mentioned *registers* in the commit description. Just like
MII_RT and MII_G_RT modules, PA_STATS is also a set of registers where
different statistics are dumped by ICSSG firmware. Moduling this as
syscon will help the driver read/write those statistics using
regmap_read() / write() just like the driver currently read / write
registers from mii_rt and mii_g_rt regmaps.

I have tried to describe this node *ti,pa-stats* the same way as
"ti,mii-g-rt" and "ti,mii-rt"

Sure will do that.
