This looks fine to me overall

It seems a bit odd to register a fake platform_device and then
get the registers from another device.

I think with the current iteration of syscon since 26769582bf35
("mfd: syscon: Remove the platform driver support"), you should be
able to just register the driver as a module_platform_driver
for the "nxp,lpc3220-scb" compatible value. Have you tried that?

If for some reason that doesn't work, I would drop the custom
platform_device here and just merge the probe function into
the module init.
