I don't think you should have a binding nor a separate driver for this. 
It's not actually an interconnect provider, so it doesn't belong in 
bindings/interconnect. And it just looks like abuse of DT to instantiate 
some driver.

All the driver amounts to is a 1 function wrapper for RPM_KEY_BW 
messages. Can't this be part of the parent?
