Two points here:
1. If it is in FSYS, why it cannot be accessed with samsung,fsys-sysreg?
2. If it is only register, shuld be described like this. You must
describe item:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.18-rc1/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/samsung/exynos-usi.yaml#L42

Please document both in the bindings and in the driver usage of this
register. Writing there "0" or "1" is not enough. If the documentation
is good, I am fine with it. If the explanation is obfuscated/not
sufficient, it will look like avoiding to implement a driver, which I
don't want to accept.

Best regards,
