Currently only "syscon" is meaningful in Linux, and we add second SoC
specific compatible to be able to distinguish between various SoC
revisions, should any SoC specific quirks be handled in future.
Thus there is no much point in adding "samsung,exynos4-sysreg" to
exynos5.dtsi. We could as well only leave "syscon" entry alone.
My suggestion is to keep "samsung,exynos5-sysreg", so for instance
Exynos4 and Exynos5 SOC series SYSREG blocks can be identified in
an OS.
