Is this documented somewhere? One child function is not a reason for an 
MFD and child nodes. And child nodes like this with no resources are 
unnecessary.

Hi Rob, this was done to follow the same path as other buses on the
platform that have sysctrls in order to provide regmaps to the
devices.

I can see how it's not really necessary here though, would it be okay
with you if I turned "canvas" into a simple bus subnode, using __iomem
in the device ?

That's a driver issue that has little to do with the binding. You can
create a regmap for any node, "syscon" just does that automagically
for you.

+Amlogic Canvas
+================================
+
+A canvas is a collection of metadata that describes a pixel buffer.
+Those metadata include: width, height, phyaddr, wrapping, block mode
+and endianness.
+
+Many IPs within Amlogic SoCs rely on canvas indexes to read/write pixel data
+rather than use the phy addresses directly. For instance, this is the case for
+the video decoders and the display.
+
+Amlogic SoCs have 256 canvas.
+
+Device Tree Bindings:
+---------------------
+
+Canvas Provider
+--------------------------
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "amlogic,canvas"
+
+Parent node should have the following properties :
+- compatible: "amlogic,gx-dmc-sysctrl", "syscon", "simple-mfd"
+- reg: base address and size of the DMC system control register space.
+
+Example:
+
+sysctrl_DMC: system-controller@0 {
+	compatible = "amlogic,gx-dmc-sysctrl", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
+	reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x1000>;
+
+	canvas: canvas-provider@0 {
+		compatible = "amlogic,canvas";
+	};
+};
