It goes back to old problem, "reset-cells" will be in "clock-controller".

clock-controller@30e20000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx8mp-audio-blk-ctrl", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
reg = <0x30e20000 0x10000>;
...

#reset-cells = <...>;
^^^
};

If create new "whatever" auxdev bus driver which included two aux devices,
(clock and reset).

it will be similar with mfd. Still need change
clock-controller@30e20000 drivers.

"Which is I suspect is gonna require a change to your clock driver,
because the range in the existing clock nodes:
audio_blk_ctrl: clock-controller@30e20000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx8mp-audio-blk-ctrl";
reg = <0x30e20000 0x10000>;
};
would then have to move to the mfd parent node, and your clock child
would have a reg property that overlaps the reset region. You'd need to
then define a new binding that splits the range in two - obviously
doable, but significantly more work and more disruptive than using an
auxdev."

So I don't know why auxdev will be better than mfd.

A possible benefit may be that Auxdev needn't binding doc for clock and
reset node devices.
