Yes, that's expected as the translation will walk up parents to root
node. You will have to get the untranslated values out of
ranges yourself. If you use the range parsing functions on the parent
node ranges, you'll get the 0 from of_range.bus_addr.

If the fpga-bus ranges has a 1:1 entry for 0x43000000 child bus then it
should get translated correctly. Worst case, you may need to define a
child bus address outside of 0x30_00000000 range that translates back to
0x43000000.
