Looks like the h/w is all part of a

Not sure I really follow you here.

The existing PMIC dts arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8150b.dtsi has:

pm8150b_gpios: gpio@c000 {
      compatible = "qcom,pm8150b-gpio";
}
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/qcom,pmic-gpio.yaml

and

pm8150b_adc_tm: adc-tm@3500 {
      compatible = "qcom,spmi-adc-tm5";
};
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/qcom-spmi-adc-tm5.yaml

to which I'm adding :

pm8150b_typec: typec@1500 {
      compatible = "qcom,pm8150b-typec";
};

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/qcom,pmic-typec.yaml

pm8150b_pdphy: pdphy@1700 {
      compatible = "qcom,pm8150b-pdphy";
};

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/qcom,pmic-pdphy.yaml

 From what I gather, there is not a 3rd h/w device this binding
describes, but it is just a collection of all the data you happen to
want for your driver.

The TCPM "virtual" driver presents as a device to the TCPM API and then uses phandle to talk to the PDPHY and typec devices yes.

 That's assuming a specific structure for a
specific OS. Why can't most of this binding be part of
"qcom,pm8150b-typec" instead of making up some virtual device?

I thought it was a better model to have the TCPM be a separate device with the pdphy and typec blocks as their own devices.

#1 Because the address space spans over more than just the pdphy and typec device, there's a charger block in between

#2 Because the pdphy and typec have separate IRQ lines and register spaces
