Seems pretty reasonable although I know little about HSI.

Is there only 1 version of HSI? If not, then perhaps you need to know
what version a client is.

Where do these numbers get defined? Are they always 0-N?

I don't see much advantage to using reg. Perhaps something like
hsi-channel-ids would be better.

There is HSI (High-speed Synchronous Serial Interface) and a legacy
variant from Texas Instruments called SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface).
The main difference is the speed and I don't think the difference
must be encoded in the Device Tree.

HSI provides multiple serial connections and this describes which
channels are used for the remote device.

From what I understand they don't have to.

I will change it to hsi-channel-ids for PATCHv4.
