Unfortunately, The SCPSYS (@10006000) isn't documented, but according to the functionnal
specification, it seems to have only one block.
I don't have the history why SYSCFG instead of SCPSYS.
I've tested your serie and have a regression at the kernel boot time:
[ 7.738117] mtk-power-controller 10006000.syscon:power-controller: Failed to create device link
(0x180) with 14000000.syscon
It's related to your patch 3/4.
