Yes, to some extent that's true, as we want to compute the m3 address
space using the regs property. In anycase, the wkupm3 driver has to be
updated for both approaches, the existing patch wouldn't work as is with
the above convention of using 2 address cells. Since the l4_wkup node
would be added for the first time, we are trying to see what would be
the good approach w.r.t subsequent changes in the DTS if and when we
have to move other nodes to be under l4_wkup.
