You can still have one device-tree node for each device, which means
you can still manage your resources (clk/power/irq/iommu) easily, but doing
this so that it avoids an async framework to pull the parts together.

I gave you this feedback several times, and you have been objecting it
every time without even trying to consider a different approach.
