Make the system controller on the Polarfire SoC
a "simple,mfd" so that the services can be child
nodes of the system controller node.

I suppose it is. I was going off what had been done for the bcm2835
firmware for the rpi its also a mailbox providing "services".

I am assuming by this you mean say, take a list of boolean properties and
convert those into child devices? There's a fairly decent number of services
provided by the system controller and these children just represent the
subset that we've implemented so far.
