In the original OF binding, the firmware dynamically generated the tree 
for the active configuration AIUI. That doesn't really fit for the 
(mostly) static FDT usage and why we stopped at the device level. So how 
do we handle multiple configs? Or can we assume that if say the I2C bus 
is used, then there's only one config and interface that can use it?
