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@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@... 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) ?
