OK, thanks for review.


My basic thought was:

  - Add an MFD node to my DTS only once.
    If I need to expand it in the future, I will just
    need to modify drivers/mtd/uniphier-mfd.c.
    It is just kernel-internal modification, so it does not
    bother DT binding at all.

  - Simplify the node topology of DTS.
