I don't think we should encode any register offsets whatsoever in device
tree but maybe that's just me. (Yes, Stephen will beat me up about
pin control single, but I consider that a special case.)

I would just put the last two things as #defines into the driver file(s)
or - if it's related to other syscfg registers and varies with SoC incarnation,
as a #define in a shared header for that syscfg thing.

The syscfg phandle is elegant though, really like that.
