In principle, I think you should be able to add something like this here:

		i2c-gate {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			tuner@60 {
				compatible = "silabs,si2157";
				reg = <0x60>;
				/* whatever else is needed */
			};
		};

But in practice, I don't know if the si2157 driver understands that or
if there is anything else that gets in the way. Totally untested...

So far, both drivers don't deal with devicetree at all, and there are no
bindings, so we have the chance to write the best bindings possible.

An i2c-gate subnode on the si2168 node looks good to me, FWIW.
