For the xusb-host has memory from 0x7009000 - 0x7009ffff.

Within this range, we have this fpci range which is defined as 0x7009800
- 0x70098fff. This range is being shared between the mailbox and xhci
drivers. Looking at the drivers, we have ...

mailbox uses: 0x700980e0 - 0x700980f3 and 0x70098428 - 0x7009842b.
xhci uses: 0x70098000 - 0x700980cf and 0x70098800 - 0x70098803.

So it is a bit messy as they overlap. However, we could have ...

xusb_mbox: mailbox {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-xusb-mbox";
reg = <0x0 0x700980e0 0x0 0x14>,
<0x0 0x70098428 0x0 0x4>;
...
};
usb-host@0,70090000 {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-xhci";
reg = <0x0 0x70090000 0x0 0x8000>,
<0x0 0x70098000 0x0 0x00d0>;
<0x0 0x70098800 0x0 0x0004>;
<0x0 0x70099000 0x0 0x1000>;
...
};

I believe that Thierry and Stephen said that they wished to avoid
multiple devices sharing the same memory ranges, and so we would need to
divvy up the memory map as above. However, I am not sure if this is an
ok thing to do.

That is nice. Sounds like the "simple-bus" style of device but for an
mfd. Based upon the above, let me know if you think we could use the
"simple-mfd"?
