I think using "syscon" for the CFGCHIP registers makes sense (based on 
my minimal experience). Would we want one "syscon" device node that 
includes all of the CFGCHIP registers or one each?

Something like this?

cfgchip@1417C {
	compatible = "ti,da830-cfgchip", "syscon";
	reg = <1417C 20>;
}

or this?

cfgchip0@1417C {
	compatible = "ti,da830-cfgchip0", "syscon";
	reg = <1417C 4>;
}

cfgchip1@14180 {
	compatible = "ti,da830-cfgchip1", "syscon";
	reg = <14180 4>;
}

etc.



-or-

Would it be OK if the PHY driver registered clocks? I'm guessing this 
falls into the category of "not such a good idea".
