The of_syscon_register_regmap() API allows an externally created regmap to be registered with syscon. This regmap can then be returned to client drivers using the syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() APIs. The API is used by platforms where mmio access to the syscon registers is not possible, and a underlying soc driver like exynos-pmu provides a SoC specific regmap that can issue a SMC or hypervisor call to write the register. This approach keeps the SoC complexities out of syscon, but allows common drivers such as syscon-poweroff, syscon-reboot and friends that are used by many SoCs already to be re-used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
