Conor and Rob, 

How about this way:

aon_syscon: syscon at 17010000 {
	compatible = "starfive,jh7110-aon-syscon", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
	reg = <0x0 0x17010000 0x0 0x1000>;
	
	aon_pwrc: power-controller {
		compatible = "starfive,jh7110-aon-pmu";
		regmap = <&aon_syscon>;
		#power-domain-cells = <1>;
	};
};

Add a "regmap" property which is phandle. And it can keep the present child-node
structure. This is more consistent with our soc design.

Best regards,
