So this looks like specific implementation of Wiegand bus - a Wiegand
bus controller. If it is correct, it should not be represented as child
of a bus... because this is a bus. IOW, just like SPI or I2C controllers
(why is this one different?), the bus is defined by SPI controller:

wiegand {
	compatible = "wiegand,wiegand-gpio";
	data-hi-gpios = <&gpio2 7 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>;
	data-lo-gpios = <&gpio2 6 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>;

	child-device, e.g. some-card {
		compatible = "foo,bar";
		// more properties of the device
	};
};

Best regards,
Krzysztof
