This is still under the internal review in Socionext,
but I attached it below FWIW.
(I am not the author of this DT.
Written by Kunihiko Hayashi,
and clocks/resets parts were slightly modified by me.)
Just skimming the driver, I guess it will be possible to flatten
the node structure by separating the register space into sub-areas.
If this is success, we do not the MFD driver.
