Yeah, this is not ideal. The closest thing we've got are the examples
in:

	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/qcom,spmi-pmic.yaml

Are you suggesting eventually dropping the examples from the child node
bindings and adding (several) complete examples in the parent one?

I guess there would need to be more than one if you want to cover all
the various child nodes with real examples.
