The reg property description is incorrect in the patch. It should have been

reg		: address of SYSCFG register.

The SYSCFG register is used to enable and reset the module.

But based on Tony's suggestion this wrapper driver will change to ti,sysc for
OMAP like SoCs.

For AM18xx it could be a simple wrapper driver that just populates the children?

this is da850.dtsi correct?

As PRUSSEVTSEL is not SYSEVENT specific but applies to all the SYSEVENTs at a time.
I don't think interrupt-cells is the right place to specify this.

Can it be set in DT in the board file? But this can't change once booted so maybe restrictive.

If runtime change is required it can only be done before a PRU boots.

How about providing this info in the resource table and/or application DT node?

There is no such firmware. I think I'll drop "default" from the description.
