Yeah historically there has been some contention around how to
implement MFD devices, the Madera devices have a single node for
the whole chip, rather than a sub-node for each driver. In many
ways this does make sense since DT should describe the hardware
and hardware wise this is a single chip, the fact linux breaks it
down into separate drivers is really a linux specific
implementation. Although the Lochnagar stuff from your other
patch was steered in the direction of a sub-node for each driver
during review.

But either way the Madera binding is a bit old to be majorly
changing at this point, and does have quite a few out of tree
users. Not really sure how to fix this one either, the name of
codec for the node is really correct as that is what the node is.

Thanks,
Charles
