DT uses the name elbi in reg-names for application logic
registers which is a wrong nomenclature. This patch fixes
the same.

This commit shouldn't be applied without changes
"arm64: dts: Rename the term elbi to appl" and
"PCI: samsung: Rename the term elbi to appl"
Which is your clue that this is an ABI break. You're stuck with the old 
name unless the ABI break is fine for all Samsung platforms using this.
This piece is quite stable so even without many out-of-tree users, we
shouldn't break it without valid reason. Wrong nomenclature is not
necessarily valid enough.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
