mfd: syscon: Allow syscon nodes without a "syscon" compatible
of_syscon_register_regmap() was added for nodes which need a custom
regmap setup. It's not really correct for those nodes to claim they are
compatible with "syscon" as the default handling likely doesn't work in
those cases. If device_node_get_regmap() happens to be called first,
then of_syscon_register() will be called and an incorrect regmap will be
created (barring some other error). That may lead to unknown results in
the worst case. In the best case, of_syscon_register_regmap() will fail
with -EEXIST. This problem remains unless these cases drop "syscon" (an
ABI issue) or we exclude them using their specific compatible. ATM,
there is only one user: "google,gs101-pmu"
There are also cases of adding "syscon" compatible to existing nodes
after the fact in order to register the syscon. That presents a
potential DT ABI problem. Instead, if there's a kernel change needing a
syscon for a node, then it should be possible to allow the kernel to
register a syscon without a DT change. That's only possible by using
of_syscon_register_regmap() currently, but in the future we may want to
support a match list for cases which don't need a custom regmap.
With this change, the lookup functions will succeed for any node
registered by of_syscon_register_regmap() regardless of whether the node
compatible contains "syscon".
