That would mean from the offset (provided in dt) get the absolute address and
then again from the absolute address get the offset.

Why not use 'of_get_address' which does the same thing? Moreover it's not a
resource we are dealing with here. It's a resource only for the syscon driver.

Not just makes this work, this is also the most reasonable solution available IMHO.

The most ideal way would have been to use something like what Grygorii
mentioned to use syscon = <&scm_conf 0xe00> and then use the phandle to get the
offset. But then with this we'll be breaking older dtbs.
