In the LAN966x PCI device use case, syscon cannot be used as syscon devices do not support removal [1]. A syscon device is a core "system" device and not a device available in some addon boards and so, it is not supposed to be removed.
That's not accurate. syscon is our own, Linux term which means also anything exposing set of registers. If you need to unload syscons, implement it. syscon is the same resource as all others so should be handled same way.
In order to remove the syscon device usage, allow the reset controller to have a direct access to the address range it needs to use.
So you map same address twice? That's not good, because you have no locking over concurrent register accesses.

If you have here CPU address, then syscon device is present... Best regards, Krzysztof
