A given device has a fixed number of buses. Usually 1 or 2. That does 
*not* vary by platform (unless the device is modified). You could have 
the same firewall controller and id for multiple buses, but that 
should not change the number of entries for the device. Now maybe a bus 
has no firewall on some platforms. In that case, you should make the 
optional firewall entry the last one, have a null phandle (0 or -1), or 
use -names to distinguish the entries.

The arg cells are dictated by the provider and opaque to the client.

You should not specify maxItems in the firewall controller binding.
