Looking at
http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/reference_manual/DM00031020.pdf
Table 34 (RCC register map and reset values), I'd say there is a single
"Reset and Clock Control" device at 0x40023800 - 0x40023884:

	soc {
		rcc: rcc@40023800 {
			#clock-cells = <1>;
			#reset-cells = <1>;
			compatible = "st,stm32-rcc";
			reg = <0x40023800 0x84>;
		};

		...

If you really want to describe the reset controller parts (offsets +0x10
to +0x24) in a separate node, I won't argue against it too long,
although this is a somewhat arbitrary decision.

In any case, the whole register at offset +0x1c is reserved, so there is
no reason to split the reset controller. It is ok to have unused ranges
as is already the case with reserved bits inside the used registers.
