I can't have a PCI based slimbus controller? "platform bus" is a 
Linuxism.

generic names aren't recommended. Allowed with some conditons, yes.

You used 4 for your controller.

That's not a useful statement. Almost every controller probably has 
other required properties.

Is '1' by itself unique enough because you have 2 address cells. The 
unit-address is typically split up into fields with commas unless it's 
just a memory address. Anyway, you need to define the unit address 
format in this doc.
