Having a TBU is not Qcom specific. The ARM MMU-500 implementation for example has TBUs, but the registers are within the SMMU address space, there are no clocks, no power-domains or other resources. Not sure about other implementations. So should we just allow empty tbu child nodes with no properties?

Ok.

Yes, maybe. A TBU can service a fixed amount of stream IDs and this looks like something common for all TBUs. I'll drop the vendor prefix.
