Could you please let me know in which cases it is appropriate versus in which
cases it isn't? Is syscon_node_to_regmap() being retained for backward
compatibility until the device-tree nodes are cleaned up across all devices?

If device_node_to_regmap() can always be used with the corresponding changes
made to the device-tree nodes, wouldn't it be better to use it directly instead
of using it as a fallback? (This is based on the assumption that
syscon_node_to_regmap() is only being retained until the device-tree nodes are
cleaned up to work with device_node_to_regmap()).
