I'll update the description in v2. The "intel,rcu-xrx200" compatible
string isn't used anywhere (upstream or downstream in OpenWrt).
u-boot on Lantiq xRX200 SoCs is too old to pass a dtb to the kernel,
so we're appending the DTB to the kernel image.

I can think of two ways to solve this:
1) remove the simple-mfd compatible string and make the driver also
discover child nodes
2) remove the simple-mfd compatible string and remove the USB PHY
child nodes - then add add #phy-cells = <1> to the RCU node itself
(and somehow update the RCU and USB PHY drivers accordingly)
3) introduce a separate child node for the reset-controller, then the
child nodes depend on each other (but there's no strict dependency on
the parent anymore other than the fact that the parent needs a
"syscon" compatible string).

My understanding of this IP block is that it was initially designed as
a reset controller, hence its name "reset controller unit" (RCU). Then
additional logic was added after the fact.
So I think 1) (dropping the simple-mfd compatible string) or 2)
(dropping the simple-mfd compatible string and the child nodes
altogether) is the right way to go here. Which route would you go and
why?

much shorter, thanks - I'll take care of this in v2.

I should know this better - I'll fix this in v2.
