Different address which is 0xE1400000 NAND_BASE_PHY address.

Then why didn't you tell me they didn't match when I suggested to pass

sorry, because you keep asking nand_pa after that only I realized that.
nand_pa? So now the question is, what does this address represent?

EBU-MODULE

EBU_CONRTROLLER_BASE : 0xE0F0_0000
HSNAND_BASE: 0xE100_0000
NAND_CS0: 0xE140_0000
NAND_CS1: 0xE1C0_0000

MEM_REGION_BASE_CS0: 0x17400 (internal to ebu controller )
MEM_REGION_BASE_CS1: 0x17C00

Hm, I wonder if we shouldn't use a 'ranges' property to describe this
address translation. Something like

ebu@xxx {
ranges = <0x17400000 0xe1400000 0x1000>,
<0x17c00000 0xe1c00000 0x1000>;
reg = <0x17400000>, <0x17c00000>;
reg-names = "cs-0", "cs-1";
}

The translated address (0xE1X00000) will be available in res->start,
and the non-translated one (0x17X00000) can be retrieved with
of_get_address(). All you'd have to do then would be calculate the
mask:

mask = (translated_address & original_address) >> 22;
num_comp_bits = fls(mask);
WARN_ON(mask != GENMASK(num_comp_bits - 1, 0));

Which allows you to properly set the ADDR_SEL() register without
relying on some hardcoded values:

writel(original_address | EBU_ADDR_SEL_REGEN |
EBU_ADDR_COMP_BITS(num_comp_bits),
ebu_host->ebu + EBU_ADDR_SEL(csid));

That's quite important if we want to merge the xway NAND driver with
this one.

Looks like the translation is done at the FPI bus declaration level (see
[1]). We really need to see the big picture to take a wise decision
about the bindings. Would you mind pasting your dsti/dts files
somewhere? It feels like the NAND controller is a sub-part of a more
generic 'memory' controller, in which case the NAND controller should be
declared as a child of this generic memory bus (called localbus in [1],
but maybe EBU is more accurate).
