[PATCH 2/5] arm: mach-sunxi: add syscon driver for system-control nodes

[Junhui Liu]

The upstream Linux kernel relies on the sunxi_sram driver to bind the
system-control nodes as syscon devices. Since U-Boot lacks this SRAM
driver, peripheral drivers may fail to resolve the syscon node unless an
explicit "syscon" compatible is added into the device tree.

To address this, add a bare UCLASS_SYSCON driver that matches all
Allwinner system-control and SRAM controller compatibles listed in the
Linux kernel to provide the necessary regmap access to the system
controller.
