This pattern doesn't scale once you have multiple fields @ addr 3. I 
also don't really think a node per register field in DT really scales.

I think the parent should be declared as a mux controller instead. You 
could encode the mux addr and bit position in the mux cells.

The mux binding was largely defined for a single control controling 
multiple muxes. This doesn't really fit that, but I guess this is an 
improvement over a custom syscon phandle.
