I did say *soon*. It's in dtc repo, but not the kernel copy yet.

This case too is poor design and should be fixed as well. Simply put,
you can have 2 devices on a bus at the same address without some sort
of mux or arbitration device in the middle. If you have a device/block
with multiple functions provided to the OS, then it is the OS's
problem to arbitrate access. It is not a DT problem because OS's can
vary in how they handle that both from OS to OS and over time.
