The example is taken from an actual device tree (look below),
where there are child nodes, I can trim it down.

No... they are all in the same node, just sharing the same
resource by way of regmap (syscon).

In the end, as I think you requested, when you said:

So as you say, no specific child is needed and syscon provides
clocks and resets:

                syscon: syscon at 40000000 {
                        compatible = "cortina,gemini-syscon",
                                     "cortina,gemini-clock-controller",
                                     "cortina,gemini-reset",
                                     "syscon", "simple-mfd";
                        reg = <0x40000000 0x1000>;
                        #clock-cells = <1>;
                        #reset-cells = <1>;

                        syscon-reboot {
                                compatible = "syscon-reboot";
                                regmap = <&syscon>;
                                /* GLOBAL_RESET register */
                                offset = <0x0c>;
                                /* RESET_GLOBAL | RESET_CPU1 */
                                mask = <0xC0000000>;
                        };
                };

Before your (as I percieved it) requested changes to avoid
surplus children in the syscon it looked like this:

                syscon: syscon at 40000000 {
                        compatible = "cortina,gemini-syscon",
"syscon", "simple-mfd";
                        reg = <0x40000000 0x1000>;

                        syscon-reboot {
                                compatible = "syscon-reboot";
                                regmap = <&syscon>;
                                /* GLOBAL_RESET register */
                                offset = <0x0c>;
                                /* RESET_GLOBAL | RESET_CPU1 */
                                mask = <0xC0000000>;
                        };

                        rcon: reset-controller {
                                compatible = "cortina,gemini-reset";
                                #reset-cells = <1>;
                        };

                        gcc: clock-controller {
                                compatible = "cortina,gemini-clock-controller";
                                #clock-cells = <1>;
                        };
                };
