The amlogic,g12a-mipi-dphy-analog is a feature of the simple-mfd
amlogic,meson-axg-hhi-sysctrl system control register zone which is an
intermixed registers zone, thus it's very hard to define clear ranges for
each SoC controlled features even if possible.

The amlogic,g12a-mipi-dphy-analog was wrongly documented as an independent
register range, which is not the reality, thus fix the bindings by dropping
the reg property now it's referred from amlogic,meson-gx-hhi-sysctrl.yaml
and documented as a subnode of amlogic,meson-axg-hhi-sysctrl.

Also drop the unnecessary example, the top level bindings example should
be enough.

I feel like I left a tag on this one before, but I can't remember.
Perhaps I missed the conclusion to the discussion to the discussion with
Rob about whether having "reg" was desirable that lead to a tag being
dropped?

I checked again and nope, not tag, but Rob's question was legitimate and I reworded
and clarified the commit message following your reviews.
On the other side you suggested a Fixes tag, which I added.

The rewording is about why reg doesn't make sense on the nature of the memory
region and it doesn't make sense here like other similar nodes.
