It can't be child of scm_conf as the address is outside it's range.
Looks like I have to add a new child to scm node that maps beyond
the dra7_pmx_core padconf address range.

Lets take for example this register CTRL_CORE_SMA_SW_0.
It has the SATA PLL_SOFT_RESET bit, EMIF1/2 gating control bits
and ISOLATE bit.

I don't see this fitting in any driver except the syscon approach.
