Thanks for detailed explanation in commit msg, but no, please do not
describe layout of registers in DTS. For the syscon phandles, you can
pass an argument (although not 6 arguments...). Usually this is enough.
For some cases, like you have differences in capabilities of this device
or its programming model, maybe you need different compatible.

If these are different capabilities, sometimes new properties are
applicable (describing hardware, not register bits...).

Best regards,
Krzysztof
