I don't see the need of having some weird "soc" node that doesn't quite
mean anything (especially on axon) that has phandles to every sub device
in there :-)
I really don't see the interest in your approach but I may have missed
something.
On those ASICs, every device almost needs to know what is it's "cell
index" because of little details here or there. I really see that as an
attribute of the device and thus should be a property of the node.
