Yes, they can be accessed using uclass_get_device_by_seq() if they are
numbered in the aliases:

aliases {
   mod_exp0 = "/path/to/hardware-node";
   mod_exp1 = "/path/to/software-node";
}

or uclass_get_device()  if there is no sequence numbering.

Make sure you use a different name  - it seems like you are using
fsl_rsa for both.
