I mean, it's not less weird :)

And like I said before we still have the option to write a card driver
ourselves that doesn't take anything from the DT beside the phandle of
the i2s controller and the HDMI controller.

If it's a fixed configuration, I'm not sure why we bother trying to make
it dynamic in the DT.
