You should not mix MMIO and non-MMIO children. Either children have
distinctive addressing, or not. Not both.

The other problem is that your children have no resources, so are not
really distinctive children and should be folded in to the parent.

I already asked that at v2, so let's finish with asking: drop the
children.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
