Should I just call it "mfd" then? (or better, "mfd@10002000")

So a compatible string not used by any driver? Something like
"ingenic,tcu"?
Would I need to document it too? (it's just a simple-mfd after all)

The TCU is a multi-function silicon. It has 8 channels, each one with
its own
interrupt line, demultiplexed from 2-3 parent IRQs (depending on the
SoC).
The TCU IRQ driver handles this.

Each channel has a clock, that can be reparented, reclocked, and gated.
That's the job for the TCU clocks driver.

Being hardware timers, they can be used for accounting and timekeeping
within
Linux, that's the job for the clocksource driver.

The TCU block also feeds the clocks to the watchdog and the OST (a
separate
timer block, not handled here).

Each channel can be configured as PWM. A future patchset will convert
the PWM
driver for Ingenic SoCs to use the TCU clocks and regmap provided by
these
new drivers.

If your remark was only reffering to the name of the node handle, I can
rename
it to "tcu_intc", there's no problem.

Sure.

Thanks for the review!
