The ANX7688 chip is a Type-C Port Controller, HDMI to DP converter and
USB-C mux between USB 3.0 lanes and the DP output.

For our use case a big part of the chip, like power supplies, control
gpios and the usb-c part is managed by an Embedded Controller, hence,
this is its simplest form of the binding. We'd prefer introduce these
properties for someone with a different use case so they can test
on their hardware.

I'm not sure this is a move in the right direction from the prior 
version. Just because you have multiple functions that doesn't mean 
the DT has multiple child nodes. What's a 'function' exactly may vary 
by OS (or in time). Are the USB-C functions separate h/w? Are there 
separate resources for each sub-function that need to be defined in DT?

We do need to be able to construct a graph with this device, HDMI 
output, USB host, and USB connector. That may dictate what does or 
doesn't work here.

If this does stay like this, then you need to define the child node(s) 
here and reference their bindings.
