It is fine if there's a child node for LDB if the LDB registers are 
consistent, but the other misc things are represented by the parent 
node. It is certainly not a requirement that either everything be in 
child nodes or nothing be in child nodes.

What I don't see in this series is what problem does this fix? If you 
are going to break compatibility, then there had better be a good 
reason.
