Yeah, exactly.

Another example here:

It seems your poweroff and reboot bits are in registers that are in the
pmu_system_controller so it makes sense to put them under it. I would
even remove the regmap property and get the regmap from the parent
first. This can easily be done while keeping the ABI backward
compatibility.
