You mean on the same SoC?

Then it looks justified in DT, so please write proper descriptions for
proper properties. Underscores are not allowed in node names. No fake
nodes. Properties should usually describe physical/hardware effect not
the register value.

qcom,usb-snps-femto-v2.yaml is nice example. Few Mediatek bindings also
would work.
