The DT node and its "reg" describes the whole IP block.

The particular register that we care of has, as you can see, moved
around during the various platforms and some incarnations of this IP
block provides controls for CPU-related clocks as well.

We can certainly have the multiple compatible points to the same
apcs_data, but I'm not able to spot a reasonable "catch-all compatible"
given that I don't see any natural groupings.

Right, we have the problem that we have DTBs out there that relies on
these compatibles, but as Jassi requests we'd have to start describing
the internal register layout in DT - which this binding purposefully
avoids.
