IMO we should indeed add something like this, because the current
representation of the RPM below the top level /smd node is misleading.
"SMD" is not a device, bus, component or anything like that. It is just
the communication protocol. There should not be a top-level DT node for
this.

Instead there should be a dedicated device tree node for the RPM like in
your example above, which will allow adding properties and subnodes to
it as needed.

For unrelated reasons I actually have some patches for this, that switch
the /smd top-level node to a "remoteproc-like" node dedicated to the
RPM, similar to how WCNSS/ADSP/Modem/etc are represented. I need this to
add additional (optional) properties like "resets" and "iommus" for the
RPM, but it would allow adding arbitrary subnodes as well:

https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/linux/commit/35231ac28703805daa8220f1233847c7df34589e

I could finish those up and post them if that would help...

Thanks,
Stephan
