Make the system controller on the Polarfire SoC
a "simple,mfd" so that the services can be child
nodes of the system controller node.

'simple-mfd' means there is zero dependency on the parent for the child 
nodes. Isn't 'mboxes' a dependency?

There's not really any need to have child nodes which have no resources. 
The driver for microchip,mpfs-sys-controller can create child devices.

I suppose it is. I was going off what had been done for the bcm2835
firmware for the rpi its also a mailbox providing "services".
(arm/bcm/raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware.yaml)

I am assuming by this you mean say, take a list of boolean properties and
convert those into child devices? There's a fairly decent number of services
provided by the system controller and these children just represent the
subset that we've implemented so far.
