Removing the child nodes in the example doesn't address my comment. You
still have them in the schema. IOW, this patch should be dropped unless
you have reasons for child nodes other than I want to partition the OS
drivers a certain way and creating DT nodes instantiates them for me.

Obviously dropping this patch doesn't prevent me from instantiating the sub devices since it's not going to be done via DT anymore. Would you rather I replaced this patch with one adding a link to the online documentation [0] for them in the main description? I had left them in as I wasn't sure if you wanted the descriptions dropped entirely or not.

And yes, partition of the services is why I had originally gone for different drivers for the different aspects. Some of the services, like the RNG or reprogramming the FPGA from Linux have obvious subsystems to put them under, if it was just the eclectic mix of Microchip FPGA specific items I'd have not bothered with the partitioning.

Cheers,
Conor.
