There is no reg property because we are inside a syscon node where the
registers are shared between multiple IPs.

There is nothing related to the driver, this subnode describes the way
the hardware is designed. Under the system controller node there are
several IPs , like the CPU clocks, but also the GPIO or the pinctrl.
