Yes, that's what we decided to go with, a long time ago. At least in
this particular case, I think it makes sense, as each function
(child-node) may also describe additional resources routed to each
function.

A typical description could be for a WiFi-Bluetooth combo-chip, where
each function may have its own clocks, irqs and regulators being
routed.

Rob, Krzysztof, does that help you understand why the binding and example
are written with bluetooth being one node and WiFi (should it ever be added)
being a separate node? It is based on the existing MMC controller bindings.
