Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't sure so I wrote the patch with the thought that we could drop it if it wasn't necessary. Regardless, I think being explicit about the properties is nice. > > Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Thanks, Andrew > > Rob

Whilst describing a device and not a bus, simple-mfd is modelled on simple-bus where child nodes are iterated and registered as platform devices. Some complex devices, e.g. the Aspeed LPC controller, can benefit from address space mapping such that child nodes can use the regs property to describe their resources within the multi-function device.
