The compatible "amd,pensando-elbasr" is matched in 
drivers/mfd/pensando-elbasr.c
which creates /dev/pensr0.<cs> for spi chip-selects defined in the 
parent node as:

         num-cs = <4>;
         cs-gpios = <0>, <0>, <&porta 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                    <&porta 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

The compatible "amd,pensando-elbasr-reset" is in 
drivers/reset/reset-elbasr.c
which uses regmap to control one bit in the function at cs0 to hardware 
reset the eMMC.
This is the reason for the reset-controller child and the two driver 
files.  The
probe in drivers/mfd/pensando-elbasr.c is called 4 times, once per spi 
chip-select
and for cs0 mfd_add_devices() is called for the reset controller.

I'll change "rstc: reset-controller@0" to "rstc: reset-controller".

Maybe I've gotten off track following what looked like an appropriate model
to follow ("altr,a10sr") that was initially added in 2017 and has the same
device topology which is SoC <= spi => CPLD/FPGA where a10sr has a 3rd 
driver
file for a gpio controller resulting in two child nodes.

In our case its not one function its four in the device where the function
at chip-select 0 is where the hardware team provided the bit to control
eMMC hardware reset.  Is this a bad approach to follow and if so please
recommend an acceptable approach.  Also, "amd,pensando-elbasr" will not
instantiate more devices.

Snippets below for a10sr in linux-next: Device on other end of spi,
one chip select, two child devices and 3 driver files in mfd, reset, and 
gpio.

FILE: arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga_arria10_socdk.dtsi:
&spi1 {
         status = "okay";

         resource-manager@0 {
                 compatible = "altr,a10sr";
                 reg = <0>;
                 spi-max-frequency = <100000>;
                 /* low-level active IRQ at GPIO1_5 */
                 interrupt-parent = <&portb>;
                 interrupts = <5 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
                 interrupt-controller;
                 #interrupt-cells = <2>;

                 a10sr_gpio: gpio-controller {
                         compatible = "altr,a10sr-gpio";
                         gpio-controller;
                         #gpio-cells = <2>;
                 };

                 a10sr_rst: reset-controller {
                         compatible = "altr,a10sr-reset";
                         #reset-cells = <1>;
                 };
         };
};

FILE: drivers/mfd/altera-a10sr.c (parent)
static const struct mfd_cell altr_a10sr_subdev_info[] = {
         {
                 .name = "altr_a10sr_gpio",
                 .of_compatible = "altr,a10sr-gpio",
         },
         {
                 .name = "altr_a10sr_reset",
                 .of_compatible = "altr,a10sr-reset",
         },
};

static const struct of_device_id altr_a10sr_spi_of_match[] = {
         { .compatible = "altr,a10sr" },
         { },
};

FILE: drivers/reset/reset-a10sr.c (reset driver)
static const struct of_device_id a10sr_reset_of_match[] = {
         { .compatible = "altr,a10sr-reset" },
         { },
};

FILE: ./drivers/gpio/gpio-altera-a10sr.c (gpio driver)
static const struct of_device_id altr_a10sr_gpio_of_match[] = {
         { .compatible = "altr,a10sr-gpio" },
         { },
};

In comparision, the pensando device is also on the other end of spi,
four chip selects with /dev created for each for userspace control,
and one child device on cs0 for hw reset emmc that the Linux block
layer controls (single bit managed only by kernel).

Pensando:
&spi0 {
         num-cs = <4>;
         cs-gpios = <0>, <0>, <&porta 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                    <&porta 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
         status = "okay";
         system-controller@0 {
                 compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
                 reg = <0>;
                 #address-cells = <1>;
                 #size-cells = <0>;
                 spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;

                 rstc: reset-controller {
                         compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr-reset";
                         #reset-cells = <1>;
                 };
         };

         system-controller@1 {
                 compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
                 reg = <1>;
                 spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
         };

         system-controller@2 {
                 compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
                 reg = <2>;
                 spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
                 interrupt-parent = <&porta>;
                 interrupts = <0 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
         };

         system-controller@3 {
                 compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
                 reg = <3>;
                 spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
         };
};
