Some devices would need to have a hierarchy of properties and child nodes passed to the child or children of MFD. For such case we may utilize software nodes, which is superior on device properties. Add support of software nodes to MFD core and convert one driver to show how it looks like. This allows to get rid of legacy platform data. The change has been tested on Intel Galileo Gen 2.
