I did some further tests and both of these attempts to support fancier
devicetree bindings have severe problems. I will remove them for v5 and
go back to having a phandle reference to the mux-controller from the
consumer (unless I get some revelation of course and just get it). I'm
simply not yet understanding the driver model well enough to pull this
off at the moment...
