You could check that in the driver. If you can check it in the driver,
you can also decide to ignore it if it were offset by 0x04 (possibly
printing a warning.) That opens up the ability to fix the older Tegra
DT files going forward while still remaining compatible with existing
DT files, and avoiding the need for a complex note about this.
That's fine, I'll do that and drop this patch.
Don't we still want to update the DT binding documentation to state what
the preferred base address (or at least set of legal base addresses) is/are?
