Unit-addresses are just the first address in 'reg'. So multiple
addresses or not doesn't really matter.

Type-C will be fun depending on how much of the muxing/altmode
details have to get exposed.

Not ideal, but allowed.

If not unit-addresses, the 2nd choice we do is 'gpio-0', 'gpio-1', etc.
Though that is mainly in the GPIO based consumer bindings like gpio-pwm,
spi-gpio, etc. where there's really not anything to use for an address.
If only those 2 nodes, then I really don't care so much and gpio-sec
would be fine. It's 1 node in 1 binding.
