Yeah, everyone else will do the sane thing, and describe
the two register ranges the IDE uses, not a much bigger
range full of register shadows like you have. It is one
thing for the hardware to do partial address decoding;
the device tree shouldn't normally expose this though.
But that's what you've got now, so you have your own
special OF device matching code, which is exactly as it
should be. No need to have "generic" ide OF matching
code until device trees containing such devices show
up :-)
