Well, that's a Linux problem, and for many applications, not even
problem at all.

Device tree should describe hardware, and hardware can do multiple
slots per controller, so device tree should describe multiple slots
per controller.

Now, the configuration may be uncommon, but you are moving from good
hardware description to bad hardware description.
