The pwrstate driver binds to individual power control registers within 
the syscon node. The parent node is bound by the generic syscon driver, 
so there is no specific SoC driver for it, but I still want to include 
SoC-specific compatibles so we can have something to use for quirks if 
we run into trouble in the future.

There are two PMGRs in the Apple M1, and thus there would be two syscon 
nodes, each containing one subnode per PM domain. The devicetree in this 
series currently only instantiates one of those, though.
