Actually this change was made specifically so that it remains (probably 
becomes?) compatible with existing DTS and passes checks. mt6779.dtsi 
currently has the syscon compatible string but it wasn't listed along 
with mediatek,mt6779-pinctrl in the old document, but instead there was 
something in the description about putting the pinctrl node under a 
syscon node, which isn't the case in the existing DTS. This patch 
passed both dt_binding_check and dtbs_check. Anyway, I see how I failed 
to describe this change, so I'll go through the patch again and try to 
find any other small changes I might've made and forgotten about, and 
either put them in separate patches or describe them in the commit 
message, whichever one you think is better. Also, do I make those 
changes in the original documents then combine or combine first then 
make them in the new one?

Thanks,
Yassine
