How about this:

<function> := one of [serial, spi, i2s, ac97]

<function>@<psc_offset> {
        port-number = <logical port number>;   // so /dev/ttyPSC#
connects to something sane
        compatible = "mpc5200b-psb\0mpc52xx-psc";
        ... other stuff ...
};

Function is encoded in the node name, and the compatible property
tells linux that it is an mpc52xx-psc in <function> mode.
