Huh, I'd rather not create another binding. The only thing this would
buy us is a stricter checking of the register ranges.  But it isn't
like this block is going to find its way in random HW, and this is
only described in a handful of core dtsi files anyway.

Unless someone screams (and provides a reasonable alternative), I will
leave it as is.
