In the LAN966x PCI device use case, syscon cannot be used as syscon
devices do not support removal [1]. A syscon device is a core "system"
device and not a device available in some addon boards and so, it is not
supposed to be removed.

In order to remove the syscon device usage, allow the reset controller
to have a direct access to the address range it needs to use.

That's not accurate. syscon is our own, Linux term which means also
anything exposing set of registers.

If you need to unload syscons, implement it. syscon is the same resource
as all others so should be handled same way.

So you map same address twice? That's not good, because you have no
locking over concurrent register accesses.

If you have here CPU address, then syscon device is present...

I will remove this patch and keep using the syscon node in the next
iteration.
