[PATCH 0/6] arm64: ti: Use syscon for the Control Module

From: Tomi Valkeinen

I have been trying to get BeagleY-AI display support to upstream:

20260513-beagley-ai-display-v2-0-9e9bcefde6bc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

One difficulty has been the handling of the Control Module region, as
we need access to a single in that region, surrounded by registers for
other subsystems. In my series I made the related node a syscon, thus
allowing versatile access to the registers:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260513-beagley-ai-display-v2-14-9e9bcefde6bc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

However, that's not a correct way to handle it. I realized we already
have ti,j721e-system-controller.yaml binding for older SoCs, which has
syscon but it's not used for the newer TI SoCs. This series takes the
same binding into use for the newer SoCs.

I think this is an ABI change, but I also think this is not an ABI
break. I hope people with more expertise in this area can confirm my
thoughts.

I believe we could drop the renaming patches, and just adjust the
ti,j721e-system-controller.yaml a bit more to accommodate the "wrong"
node names. But if there's no downside to the renames, I think it's nice
to have a more consistent naming.
