SYSCON driver was designed for using memory areas (registers)

allows you to use the individual SYSCON bits as GPIOs.
ARM CLPS711X SYSFLG1 input lines has been added as first user
of this driver.

I am happy with this driver, patch applied. Unless someone goes
protesting.

Thanks for your patience Alexander, it's always tricky with these
new things.
