    Do you have a better suggestion for a node name? This is effectively a
    container for peripherals which would otherwise live under a /soc node,
    if they were accessed over MMIO by the internal microprocessor of the
    SoC, rather than by an external processor over SPI.

    The positioning relative to the other nodes is what's different.
