Please wrap commit message according to Linux coding style / submission
process (neither too early nor over the limit):
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.18-rc4/source/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst#L586

The subject is a bit redundant and not precise. No need to mention
"bindings" twice but "StarFive" is really too generic. Do you add now
all possible devices from StarFive? I see only one. Rephrase (use git
log to find examples).

Name is not specific enough. What is syscon? Any syscon? This needs to
be specific.

What is syscon?

Describe the argument, not what it is used for, e.g. "offset of XXX YYY ZZZ"

That's not how the phandle array is described. Instead:
