I took a quick look at the current device tree files. They all seem to
have the 0xb1030 0x4. So reading it inside of get_etsec_tbipa() is
O.K.

Looks like you need to modify all the get_tbipa() functions to take a
device_node *, and this code looks like it needs to change:

                        /*
                         * Add consistency check to make sure TBI is contained
                         * within the mapped range (not because we would get a
                         * segfault, rather to catch bugs in computing TBI
                         * address). Print error message but continue anyway.
                         */
                        if ((void *)tbipa > priv->map + resource_size(&res) - 4)
                                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "invalid register map (should be at least 0x%04zx to contain TBI address)\n",
                                        ((void *)tbipa - priv->map) + 4);

                        iowrite32be(be32_to_cpup(prop), tbipa);
