A binding for simple-bus was the first thing that looked odd.

Given that the driver is parsing ranges itself, this looks like abuse of 
ranges.

What exactly is address 0 supposed to be here? If it is the M4's view of 
memory, then dma-ranges is what you want to use here.

Note that the unit-address is wrong here as it should be 38000000.
