Yeah! ;-)

I guess this would work, too?

scu_container@20000000 {
        compatible = "simple-bus";

        ranges = <0x0 0x20000000 0x10000>;
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <1>;

        scu: scu@0 {
                compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-scu";
                reg = <0x0000 0x100>;

        gic: interrupt-controller@1000 {
                compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
                reg = <0x1000 0x1000>, <0x0100 0x0100>;

        twd-timer@0600 {
                compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-twd-timer";
                reg = <0x0600 0x10>;
};

No more explicit arithmetic needed, just substitue "20000000".
