This doesn't seem to match with what I have here:
- some axi peripherals goes beyond 0x10_3FFF_FFFF (e.g. the interrupt
controller is @0x107fff9000)
- downstream dts have that ranges going from 0x10 0x00000000 0x11 0x00000000,
so to span all the peripheral (included e.g. the above int controller)
- another comment in downstream dts says: // 10_00000000-1x_xxxxxxxx = up to
64GB system RAM

I'm a little confused here, of course we could also define multiple ranges
but I don't really know what the boundaries are. Anyway, I would opt for the
extended range (0x10 0x00000000 - 0x11 0x00000000) unless there is concern
about it. Any thoughts?

Many thanks,
