Since I don't think anyone has mentioned this point on the public lists, 
I'll echo the earlier internal discussion on this patch. I think the PMC 
driver should handle this all entirely internally. The PMC HW module 
doesn't have well-defined sub-modules, and hence we shouldn't represent 
sub-modules in DT. DT should represent HW structure, not Linux SW structure.
