Eh, this is not trivial to solve. The
"intel,ixp4xx-expansion-bus-controller.yaml" bindings add properties to
children nodes, just like spi-peripheral-props:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/intel,ixp4xx-expansion-bus-controller.yaml?h=v6.2-rc5#n147

Any node can be there:
1. serial, which was broken since beginning but errors not visible,
2. flash, which work fine just because mtd-physmap.yaml allows it,
3. more?

Existing DTS of this ixp4xx controller have different nodes, for example:
flash, shared-dma-pool, ns8250, arcom,vulcan-gpio, maxim,max6369:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/intel-ixp42x-arcom-vulcan.dts?h=v6.2-rc5#n40

Probably we need expansion-bus-controller-peripheral-props.yaml and
include it in every possible child. Does it sound reasonable?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
