The table 2-7 suggests that 4 KiB are routed to the fec even though the
fec module might only make use of the first 1 KiB. That's no
contradiction. The convention used in the device trees is that the first
amount is used.

Yes please. In the commit log you might want to point out that a length
of 16 KiB overlaps with the (currently unused?) Security Controller
(SCC) of the i.MX27.
