Really, you should have a bit-bang M6800 bus driver and binding and then 
the binding for the LCD ctrl looks the same whether you are bit-banging 
it or not.

That's a bit more work though. Maybe you could split the binding like 
this, but keep a monolithic driver for now. The driver can just fetch 
the GPIOs from the parent (bus controller) node. And you'd have to work 
out probing the driver.

I guess this would require faulting on some address and then bit-banging 
the access. That sounds fun...
