IMHO this makes little of sense, because in this case you would have to duplicate these properties for every supported machine. address-cells, size-cells and ranges belong to the controller itself, not to its children.
Of course i could split up the patch into two, first introduce sromc, second introduce mapping. But does it worth that? Both patches would be 3 lines of code each.
Anyway, this specific talk is outdated by now, please check out neighbor topic, we are discussing significantly improved binding with Krzystof.

I am sorry, but you either do not understand us with Krzystof, or not reading at all...
This is not a change in the binding. And these properties do not belong to smsc at all. They would be added to *ANY* device which sits on top of SROMc. This is more like a bus-specific extra. It's similar to "reg" property having different meanings for different buses.

Did you read them? I did, and they do exactly the same thing as i do.
