I'd prefer if you didn't use Linuxisums in DT docs.

A 'multi-function device' isn't a thing - we made it up.

Nowhere in the documentation [0] is the Gateworks System Controller
described as a multi-function device.

No it isn't. It's a:

"The Gateworks System Controller (GSC) is a device present across
various Gateworks product families that provides a set of system
related feature such as the following (refer to the board hardware
user manuals to see what features are present)"

Why is "Monitor" capitalised, but "controller" is not?

I would s/Monitor/monitor/ here.

Again, an odd thing to capitalise.

Rob just submitted a patch-set to remove 'allOf's from '$ref'
properties.
