Ok. What I was asking was how a node id would be associated with
particular peripheral instances (which are presumably going to be nodes
in the DT).

e.g. if I have

	device@foo {
		compatible = "xlnx,some-device";
		reg = <0xf00 0x100>;
		...
	};

... how does the kernel know which node id(s) the device is associated
with?

I assume that those will need something like a xlnx,eemi-node-id
property.

For those drivers to be able to refer to the EEMI FW as a pin
controller, we'll need a pinctrl node in the DT (and hence a binding).

As with pinctrl, for drivers to be able to refer to these clocks, we'll
need a clock node in the DT (and hence a binding).

Thanks,
