Understood but it's an intermediate patch. Later (patch 8), the SerDes
muxing "controller" is added as a child to this node. There most likely
will be some others in the future (temperature sensor for example).

Furthermore, there's already a simple-mfd without children in this file:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mips/mscc.txt#L19

How should we handle this case?

Thanks,
Quentin
