Yes while writing the schema I also got this doubt that I should have just
made 2 different schema. I wanted to put everything in one as they are the
same HW and driver.

I will just split these 2 to simplify it.

The child is just for consistency with the USB and easier implementation on
the driver. But I guess for DT this is a no go. I will rework the driver to
drop the redundant child for the PCIe variant.
