Yes it was missing. Acknowledged.

Missed that.
Should it be named to 'aspeed,scu-syscon' as the aspeed SCU is used
for all the peripherals.
Or should it be named to 'aspeed,pci-syscon' to specify its purpose in
this context.

From what I have gathered, current convention would use the specific
name 'aspeed,pci-syscon'.
Would like some feedback on this!
