So you want to document non-obvious SoC architecture via example, not
via actual documentation. Plus you want to document it for purpose of
...? Isn't this SoC component, so once you write DTSI it is done?

I fail to see any logic in this, but maybe the binding is kind of
special, misrepresented or hardware is different? But the subject
clearly states it is part of SoC, so dunno...

Just like all phandles.
