 It's not confusing. The spec is clear it's named "syscon" so our
driver must be named syscon, naming it otherwise would be confusing.
 What's confusing is the directory name for "sc" named syscons, it's
config options are named SC_* and the device is named sc.

 The only valuable remark in this thread is bde's one saying it's not
documented etc ... and yes we do sucks in this area in the arm world.

 Anyhow, I caught a discussion between mmel@ and kevans@ on IRC saying
that we will move the driver into extres after adding some standard
stuff common to extres framework.
