It would work, but feels wrong to me. The 'reg' properties of each
device behind mbus would end up as software defined and need to
be updated for any change to the mapping, whether that change is
board specific or even at run-time. It would be even harder to
do dynamic assignment when you cannot put a proper address into
'reg'.
