The fact that we happen to use platform devices inside Linux to split
the MFD between subsystems isn't something that should leak out into the
device tree representation, this is a Linux implementation detail.  The
card should be referencing the root node for the device in its binding.

You're also confusing the idea of using an of_node for something with
putting it into the struct device; you should never need to modify
what's in the struct device to use the device tree data.
