I wasn't sure how this MFD will be received by the Renesas maintainers so I
kept it simple for this version.

In theory the VBAT clk, power domain and resets are specific to VBAT module
itself but, indeed, the child cannot work w/o these.

VBAT clock, power domain are needed. Reset, too. In the current
implementation the reset is deasserted though parent by calling the
syscon_node_to_regmap(np->parent) in the clock driver.

Could you please clarify this? Would you want me to drop the full node
(same for clock-controller node)?

Can you point me an example that you are thinking about?

Thank you,
