Hi,

You probably want something like:

	priv->base = syscon_node_to_regmap(np);
	if (IS_ERR(priv->base) && priv->base != ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER))
		priv->base = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle(np, "master");

	if (priv->base == ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER)) {
		return -EPROBE_DEFER;
	} else if (IS_ERR(priv->base)) {
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "error getting syscon regmap, error=%pe\n",
			priv->base);
		return PTR_ERR(priv->base);
	}

Please ensure that you test the above, including the case where you
should fall through to syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle().
