Since there is already syscon for same mmio region, we migh as well use it 
when loading ccu-sun8i-de2 driver on A64.

Other options, like SRAM driver or bus driver, might better represent HW, but 
then we would have two DT nodes covering same mmio region, which I think is 
not really acceptable.

Any suggestions?

BTW, H6 has same design in this regard.

Best regards,
