Or a subset of it, anyway; both address domains have to
use the same representation in "reg" properties, and the
mapping has to be 1-1.

A missing "ranges" property means there is no direct
mapping, which is more correct in this case, and perfectly
valid.

This would be a nice use case for the

	ranges = ??;

syntax when/if that gets added to DTC and the kernel
and bootwrapper parsers for DTBs.
