Yes, that's what we decided to go with, a long time ago. At least in
this particular case, I think it makes sense, as each function
(child-node) may also describe additional resources routed to each
function.

A typical description could be for a WiFi-Bluetooth combo-chip, where
each function may have its own clocks, irqs and regulators being
routed.
