[PATCH RFC 1/5] dt-bindings: mfd: Describe the BCM6846 PMC complex

Wed Oct 14 02:48:43 PDT 2026
The third generation Platform Management Controller (PMC3) has
different subdevices.
Identify the parent with Broadcom's "brcm,bca-pmc-3-1" compatible
for the version 3.1 complex.
Describe the complex as a simple-mfd with two system-controller children
and a bus child, each owning its register resource.

+description: |
+ The third generation Platform Management Controller (PMC3) contains
+ separate register banks for PMC control and message queues, the
+ Processor Monitor Bus (PMB) interface within Procmon, and the Maestro
+ processor control registers. Each child owns its register bank. The
+ parent provides address translation and does not own a register bank.
