So a standard set of registers every slimbus device has? In hindsight,
I would have made reg have 2 entries with both addresses. I guess that
ship has sailed.

It seems strange you would need both "devices" described as separate
nodes in DT.

Probably so. If it is common, then document it in bindings/slimbus/bus.txt.

Then here, 'slim-ifc-dev: true' is sufficient. You can just assume we
convert bus.txt to schema (or feel free to do that :) ).
