You can still refer to the device's root device_node using a phandle.

Say, if you have a LED flash controller with an indicator. It's intended to
be used together with the flash LED, and the existing as3645a driver exposes
it through the same sub-device. I think that'd make sense with LED class
driver as well (i.e. you'd have two LED class devices but a single
sub-device). Small changes to the wrapper would be needed.
