Certainly would be interesting if someone grabs the syscon and pokes at
the mutex registers, but I do prefer to have the DT match the register
regions when possible.

So if you're okay with making the whole tcsr mutex a hwlock and syscon
I prefer that.


PS. I picked all non-8974 patches from the series, just in case that
wasn't clear from the ty-letters.
