Actually, not using a platform_device now is the outcome of
some late DT node rework we had for the clock driver. The reason
we only have one node for the whole register set providing
pinctrl, reset, clock, ... is that it would require tiny separate
register ranges spread over the whole register set.

Instead, the idea is to have a single DT node, register a
driver providing a mmio regmap, and registering individual
platform_devices for the non-early drivers using the regmap.
We also evaluated syscon, but it will require dummy nodes for
each proper platform_device and that is something we really
want to avoid here.

Of course, writing that driver is delayed on my side because
of other non-Linux stuff that has to be taken care of first.
As I cannot tell how much time I can spend on it now, I prefer
to take this as is and provide update patches as soon as I have
worked out the regset driver.
