Agreed, because this is standard address translation and only the DT 
core address functions should read cells props.

Why does the timer need 64-bits of address space? It doesn't, so that's 
the reason for restricting it.

So 3 address cells is valid?

Until recently (and not yet in a dtschema release), there was no 
constraint on #address-cells or #size-cells values other than the 
#.*-cells constraint of 8. Now it is 3 and 2.
