No improvements here, so my comment stay. Please fix it.

I still do not understand why you need children. You did not CC me on
driver change, so difficult to say. You did not describe the parent
device - there is no description. Why do you need parent device at all?
This looks like some driver-driven-bindings instead of just real
hardware description.
