Moving both nodes in a common node + using a different compatible depending on SPI or I2S usage sounded good) but it is not enough. In this series the common node is named as following: "spi2s2: spi at 4000b000". It is fine for a spi usage but if we want to use this "common node" with I2S compatible and specific bindings, the node name remains spi at ... and then specific spi checks are done. For this with this series applied we got this issue reported by spi-controller.yaml:

Yes it could but in my mind it was not a MFD as both feature cannot be 
used at the same time: it is either SPI or I2S and choice is done 
"statically" in device tree depending board usage.

Lee, what it is your feeling about that ? Will you accept to add a MFD 
driver for this SPI/I2S peripheral whose prurpose is only to populate 
child node (either SPI or I2S) ?
