I see. In this case, I would probably create a separate msi controller
driver that owns the "fsl,ls1021a-scfg" device, and is referenced
through the "msi-parent" property in the pcie controller.

You can use of_pci_find_msi_chip_by_node() to get the msi_chip
instance and then connect that to your pci host. This will also
take care of the case where you may want to use the main GICv3
on a future SoC.

Ok, then use syscon for this one. Note that we are currently changing
the syscon code to make it easier for the same device to be both syscon
and driven by another device driver such as the msi_chip above.
