Yeah, I thought if I could do this without any new bindings.
For instance, never reset or idle something which is a "cpu" or an
"interrupt-controller" or a "memory-controller" or a "bus".
For some like memory-controllers though there are no bindings which
describe them as memory-controllers.

This looks fine too.
