Ok. Is the syscon also a simple-mfd?

It sounds like there's a device for the parent, but we've failed
to attach a regmap to it. Maybe the core DT code should assign
the regmap to the parent device when it creates it so that child
devices don't need to know this detail? It could look for
simple-mfd devices with compatible = "syscon" and then create the
regmap? Here's a totally untested patch for that.
