That last sentence seems like a property of the driver, not the binding;
I could easily anticipate allowing the size to be 1 or 2 or 4, and a
driver adapter to that in the future.
Otherwise, this binding looks great now.

Why not map it during probe?

Isn't that always true, given if (current_child ^ desired_child) above?
