The DRIF channel can have either one of the sub-channel active at a time or both. When both sub-channels are active, they need to be managed together as one device as they share same CLK & SYNC. We plan to tie these two sub-channels together with a new property called "renesas,bonding".

Is there no need to describe the master device? No GPIOs, regulators
or other sideband controls needed? If that's never needed (which seems
doubtful), then I would do something different here probably with the
master device as a child of one DRIF and then phandles to master from
the other DRIFs. Otherwise, this looks fine to me.
