This doesn't seem right: For one thing, it's an incompatible binding
change which you should try to avoid.

Worse, the syscon has a name indicating that it really has a particular
function, but the name is completely generic (just "syscon"). Please
add a specific compatible string identifying the device that owns
the registers, and put any other associated properties (clocks,
interrupts, ...) that are for that device in general rather than just
the touchscreen in there.

Your changelog text fails to describe why you do this change in
the first place, and why you can't do it in a backward-compatible
way, so please rewrite that text.
