Why are you using a nonstandard property for the address?
AFAICT, the same can be expressed normally doing

       mcc {
	        #address-cells = <2>;
	 	#size-cells = <0>;
               arm,vexpress,config-bridge = <&v2m_sysreg>;

               osc at 0 {
                       compatible = "arm,vexpress-osc";
                       reg = <1 0>;
               };
       };

which is more in line with how we represent e.g. i2c buses.
