Doh! Brain malfunction. No arithmetic indeed.
Working with the preprocessor would have to involve token-pasting.

#define SCU_BASE(OFFSET)	2000##OFFSET
#define SCU_BASEX(OFFSET)	0x2000##OFFSET

	gic: interrupt-controller@SCU_BASE(1000) {
		reg = <SCU_BASEX(1000) 0x1000>, <SCU_BASEX(0100) 0x0100>;
	};

My very own abomination!
