That's not way to describe syscon phandle. Property name is ok. For the
rest look at:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.18-rc1/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/samsung/exynos-usi.yaml#L42

Anyway, this looks like SoC-specific hack, so it does not really fit to
the driver. You have to think of something generic.
