As the example shows we will end up with two nodes describing the same
hardware with pretty much identical set of properties.
I really do think it's better to represent and implement the NoC
controllers on the mmio/platform bus and have a small "proxy" as a child
of the RPM.
By doing this you avoid the duplication of the clock properties and you
don't need the qcom,qos reference to pair up each "bus performance
driver" to the "bus qos driver".
And you still maintain the idea that the entity you request bandwidth
votes with are the NoC controller (which also will be the QoS
controller).
