See comment below for the ubus node.

This does not quite make sense, as I doubt that this part of the bus is 64-bit capable, rather, I would expect to find both #address-cells and #size-cells to be set to 1 and ... (see below)

Agree. It can be simplified to use 32 bit address and size.

+        ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0xff800000 0x0 0x800000>;

+        uart0: serial@12000 {
+            compatible = "arm,pl011", "arm,primecell";
+            reg = <0x0 0x12000 0x0 0x1000>;

... have this become simply:

            reg = <0x12000 0x1000>:

which also looks awfully big for an UART block, an entire 4KB worth of register space?
That is the correct based on the rdb.
