Hi,

Please check below comments from Thomas Abraham and I agree with his
opinion.

There cannot be a node that represents a virtual device. Device tree
should ideally describe the hardware but the above node does not
represent a hardware device. The creation of the platform device
instance for the above device should handled inside the kernel code.
I don't tend to agree with this opinion. Is there any further reasoning 
behind it? Is it a current policy of the kernel that nodes should only 
represent real devices?

Best regards,
Tomasz Figa
