No Nishant, this is not a part of driver series. This binding patch is
related to [1] which is merged to net-next. The regmap will not be used
by drivers/soc/ti driver instead once both binding are in, the driver
changes will be needed in drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icssg_prueth.c
as there is no driver changes needed in drivers/soc/ti, I posted this
patch as stand alone. Considering this binding and [1] they both go to
different tree, I decided to get the bindings in first and in next
kernel cycle when they both are part of mainline linux, I can post the
driver changes.

I am just trying to maintain consistency here. pa-stats sub-module is
similar to mii-g-rt and mii-rt. I am adding pa-stats in the same way as
mii-g-rt and mii-rt.

All these three modules are eventually mapping a memory region so that
the icssg driver can use them and read / configure registers.
