Yes. Both mappings are for ABB driver itself due to the interleaved
addresses for two ABB instances :(

I am tempted by syscon and using regmap. but doing a syscon on entire
control module has impact to a bunch of drivers as you can expect.

The other alternative will be to use reg-names and map individual
registers (there are just setup and control registers to deal with per
abb instance). That will coexist with other pinctrl, bandgap and other
drivers which are not based off syscon.
