This patch adds device bindings for aspeed pwm-tach device which is a
multi-function device include pwn and tach function and pwm device which
should be the sub-node of pwm-tach device.

This check can fail if there are any dependencies. The base for a patch

But is it really? A PWM and tach sounds like a fan controller. Look at 
other existing PWM+tach bindings we have for fans.

As you know the 2 node names, they should be documented. However, see 
below.

You have 2 nodes at the same address. Not valid.

There's no real need for 2 child nodes. The parent node can be a PWM 
provider.

Our PWM is not only for fans but also used for the motor, led, buzzer, and so on. 
So I want to split the function into two devices with a multi-function device. 
One for PWM output and one for tach monitor.

    > other existing PWM+tach bindings we have for fans.

I didn't see the PWM+tach bindings can you give some example for me, thanks.

    > You have 2 nodes at the same address. Not valid.

Our pwm and tach is used the same base address and the offset is like below:

PWM0 used 0x0 0x4, Tach0 used 0x8 0xc
PWM1 used 0x10 0x14, Tach1 used 0x18 0x1c
...

I will remove the reg property from pwm and tach node and remove the "#address-cells" and
"#size-cells" from the parent node.

    > There's no real need for 2 child nodes. The parent node can be a PWM 
    > provider.

However, In our usage, the parent node is a mfd, not a simple PWM device only. I don't want to
combine the different functions with the one device node.

Let me grep 'tach' for you:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/aspeed-pwm-tacho.txt
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/npcm750-pwm-fan.txt

Hey, look at that, there's already one for ASpeed. So the question is
how is the newer h/w different?

That's not really the solution...

Looks like a single h/w block to me. If you want to divide that up
into multiple drivers, then that's an OS problem. A single node can be
multiple providers. For example, on the existing aspeed binding, just
add '#pwm-cells' to the node if you want to also expose it as a PWM
provider.

I don't think the pwm/tach should be a single h/w block. 
See the kontron,sl28cpld.yaml:
hwmon@b {
        compatible = "kontron,sl28cpld-fan";
        reg = <0xb>;
};

pwm@c {
        compatible = "kontron,sl28cpld-pwm";
        reg = <0xc>;
        #pwm-cells = <2>;
};
They can be the different function from the dts.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/aspeed-pwm-tacho.txt
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/npcm750-pwm-fan.txt

These two devices are specific to the used for fan like
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/pwm-fan.txt, but with our usage,
it doesn't just for the fan. In our scenario, the customer wants to
create a pwm-beeper, so he needs one pwm input and he doesn't need the
tach function. If I used the pwm-fan as the beeper's pwm input, it look
weird.
Therefore, I want to split these two functions into different devices.

If my thinking is wrong, please let me know.

Very appreciate.
