I'm sorry, I have started reviewing v2 without noticing that there is a
v3 already.

Let me summarize my comments:

- You are using OF aliases. Are they documented and acked by DT
  maintainers?

- I generally feel that the use of so many small devices to declare
  functional blocks is an abuse of the DT. Please consider creating
  _small_ units from the driver code directly rather than going throught
  the components. Also please describe how everything fits together in
  the cover letter.

- I assume that there more functional units that you are cunrretly
  adding and there is more versatility. Please describe that in the
  commit messages.

- I see a lot of small functions, which can be inlined without the lost
  of code clarify. Please consider self-reviewing your code from this
  perspective.

- There were other small comments, but I think they are less important
  now. You might still consider them for v4.
