This seems to be a bug in this documentation actually. ti,sci handle is 
no longer supported, and all the sci stuff must be under the parent sci 
node.

The full picture is represented under the documentation for the main 
protocol support itself. See this patch:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9383281/

Copy pasted here as ref:

Example (K2G):
-------------
         pmmc: pmmc {
                 compatible = "ti,k2g-sci";
                 ...

                 my_clk_node: clk_node {
                         ...
                         ...
                 };

                 my_pd_node: pd_node {
                         ...
                         ...
                 };
         };
