How is this solved in DT ? You don't seem to need any DT binding on top
of the msi-parent property, which is equivalent to IORT single mappings
AFAICS so I would like to understand the whole DT flow (so that I
understand how this FSL bus works) before commenting any further.

This does not seem correct to me, I will let Marc comment on
the matter.
