The below patch looks good to me.

In general there seems to be a misunderstanding of the purpose of
simple-bus, as an annotation that children of a node should be probed,
rather than as a representation of a simple bus (which is of the same
type as the parent-bus, which requires no programming, where children
can be used without knowledge of the simple-bus).

There seem to be a lot of cases where simple-bus is used as a fallback
compatible string, when in reality the node's children make no sense
without information from and/or programming of the node with the
simple-bus property. Those cases are completely wrong, and a complete
abuse of simple-bus.

There are other cases where simple-bus nodes are used to group nodes
from a commonly reused block. As long as these have the requisite
ranges, #address-cells, and #size-cells, then they are valid, and make
sense for translating / widening addresses for common groups of
peripherals even if they're not on a different physical bus.

I don't see the point in grouping together nodes in an artificial
container because of their functionality rather than their topology, it
seems to breed confusion. 

Cheers,
Mark.
