The Aspeed SoC Display Controller is presented as a syscon device to
arbitrate access by display and pinmux drivers. Video pinmux
configuration on fifth generation SoCs depends on bits in both the
System Control Unit and the Display Controller.

The register space can't be split to 2 nodes?

I think perhaps we should drop the syscon here and the driver should 
just register as a syscon.

Do you mean splitting the GFX IP and enable register into two nodes?

We can't. Pinmux needs to check bit 6 and 7 in GFX064, which is in the
middle the IP block:

GFX060: CRT Control Register I
GFX064: CRT Control Register II
GFX068: CRT Status Register
GFX06C: CRT Misc Setting Register

We want the regmap to be present whenever the GFX driver or pinmux is
loaded. If we register it in pinmux but chose to not build in that
driver, we lack the regmap. Same for the case where a user builds in
the GFX driver and not pinmux. I think this means we want the syscon
compatible string, unless my understanding is wrong?

Cheers,

Joel

Okay.

Same here.

+The Aspeed SoC Display Controller primarily does as its name suggests, but also

+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:		"aspeed,ast2500-gfx", "syscon"
+- reg:			contains offset/length value of the GFX memory
+			region.
+
+Example:
+
