This patch was created based on my interpretation of Lee's feedback
here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/18/650

Lee's next email in the chain poked Arnd for an opinion, but Arnd
didn't reply.

I don't mind. I moved these bindings separately so we could just drop
the patch if there was push-back. If we drop the whole idea I'll need
to apply a small fix to patch 5/6 to avoid creating the syscon
subdirectory.
