This patch adds a PMU(Power Management Unit) syscon node. This
should be required for USB Phy syscon regmap I/F.

This compatible string doesn't seem to be defined in [1], please add it 
there,

Otherwise looks good, so after fixing that you may add my

 Assume a case where exynos PMU is made as platform driver [1] and we
need use the compatible  "samsung,exynos4-pmureg" in the driver.
But since syscon driver uses compatible "syscon" and once the syscon
driver is probed, the  exynos PMU platform driver [1] will NEVER be
probed.
So my question is, can we have 2 compatible strings for a DT node, and
both the compatible strings are used for probing purpose?
Recently I faced this issue on exynos5250, where i was testing PMU
driver [1] and I noticed that  PMU driver [1] was NEVER probed, if I
enable syscon driver in menuconfig.

No, it is not possible to bind two drivers with different compatible 
strings to the same node. Basically this is because only one platform 
driver can be bound to particular platform device.

The rule is that the most specific compatible string (e.g. the first 
from the left) that matches should be used, but I'm not sure if this is 
implemented this way in Linux kernel, especially considering that a 
platform driver usually probes when it is being registered. So we might 
have a race here, which you can work around by making sure that your PMU 
driver is always registered first (e.g. by lowering its initcall level).

Yes, correct.

I don't see it's using first compatible string from the left. I can
see whichever driver registers platform driver first, it's probe is
getting called. As in this particular case, PMU has two compatibility
string as "samsung, exynosxxx-pmu", "syscon". But since "syscon"
driver registers it's platform driver in postcore_initcall where as
PMU platform driver [1], was registering as arch_initcall, only
"syscon" probe got called.

In my V2 patch for converting PMU as driver form, I dropped idea of
converting into platform driver, because we can't remove "syscon" from
binding as many other driver wants to access PMU register via regmap
handle. By lowering it's initcall level may be I can make PMU probe
gets called but then how other drivers will be able to access PMU
regmap handles?
