I would prefer this to putting the registers and bit masks into the
phandle cells. The i.MX6Q/D GPR muxes could look like this:

	gpr: iomuxc-gpr@020e0000 {
		compatible = "fsl,imx6q-iomuxc-gpr", "syscon";
		reg = <0x020e0000 0x38>;

		mux: mux-controllers {
			compatible = "mmio-mux";
			#mux-control-cells = <1>;

			/* This list is not complete */
			mux-reg-masks = <0x04 0x00080000>, /* MIPI_IPU1_MUX */
					<0x04 0x00100000>, /* MIPI_IPU2_MUX */
					<0x0c 0x0000000c>, /* HDMI_MUX_CTL */
					<0x0c 0x000000c0>, /* LVDS0_MUX_CTL */
					<0x0c 0x0000030c>, /* LVDS1_MUX_CTL */
					<0x28 0x00000003>, /* DCIC1_MUX_CTL */
					<0x28 0x0000000c>; /* DCIC2_MUX_CTL */
		};

		ipu1_csi0_mux {
			compatible = "video-mux";
			mux-controls = <&mux 0>;
			/* ... */
		};

		ipu2_csi1_mux {
			compatible = "video-mux";
			mux-controls = <&mux 1>;
			/* ... */
		};
	};

and for i.MX6DL/S:

	gpr: iomuxc-gpr@20e0000 {
		compatible = "fsl,imx6q-iomuxc-gpr", "syscon";
		reg = <0x020e0000 0x38>;

		mux: mux-controllers {
			compatible = "mmio-mux";
			#mux-control-cells = <1>;

			mux-reg-masks = <0x34 0x00000007>, /* IPU_CSI0_MUX */
					<0x34 0x00000038>, /* IPU_CSI1_MUX */
					<0x0c 0x0000000c>, /* HDMI_MUX_CTL */
					<0x0c 0x000000c0>, /* LVDS0_MUX_CTL */
					<0x0c 0x0000030c>, /* LVDS1_MUX_CTL */
					<0x28 0x00000003>, /* DCIC1_MUX_CTL */
					<0x28 0x0000000c>; /* DCIC2_MUX_CTL */
		};

		ipu1_csi0_mux {
			compatible = "video-mux";
			mux-controls = <&mux 0>;
			/* ... */
		};

		ipu1_csi1_mux {
			compatible = "video-mux";
			mux-controls = <&mux 1>;
			/* ... */
		};
	};
