I am assuming that Andrew had laid it out like this to reflect the hw
structure. The mailbox and xhci controller are part of the xusb
sub-system and hence appear as child nodes. My understanding is that for
device-tree we want the device-tree structure to reflect the actual hw.
Is this not the case?
