Nice!

I don't like the use macros that concatenate symbol names like
this. Why not do either

- open-code the macro contents in the few uses, to allow
  grepping for them, or

- put the register number in the syscon reference and look it
  up from there (this would be slightly more complicated for the
  second macro)

I think this and the second instance of it can be shortened to

	ebi->smc = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle(pdev->dev.of_node, "atmel,smc");
