I don't think we should encode any register offsets whatsoever in device
tree but maybe that's just me. (Yes, Stephen will beat me up about
pin control single, but I consider that a special case.)

I would just put the last two things as #defines into the driver file(s)
or - if it's related to other syscfg registers and varies with SoC incarnation,
as a #define in a shared header for that syscfg thing.

No can do. This isn't _this_ device's register offset, this is a
syscfg register offset which a) there is no driver to apply specific
register offsets to and b) are liable to change oversubsequent SoCs.

So it can be in <linux/mfd/my-sysconfig-regs.h> as
a

#define MY_SYSCON_V1_BOOT_DEV_REG 0x958
#define MY_SYSCON_V1_BOOT_DEV_SPI 0x1a

The kernel should know which SoC is in use and
act apropriately right?

And this have lots of machine_is() calls everywhere?

Sounds perfect. ;)
