The use of syscons is growing, lets collate them in their own part of the bindings tree.quoted

I don't mind. I moved these bindings separately so we could just drop the patch if there was push-back. If we drop the whole idea I'll need to apply a small fix to patch 5/6 to avoid creating the syscon subdirectory.
The sub-directory is a good idea for drivers who are *solely* syscon based. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
