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.
