If 1 cell does the job, then it should be allowed. I'd go a step farther 
and say # of cells should only be as big as needed and that's the 
address size of the children.

Why can't they use 2? Is it because you forgot 'dma-ranges' and you want 
to implicitly limit DMA to 32-bits?

Unfortunately 'dma-ranges' is frequently omitted so we treat missing as 
1:1 dma-ranges (i.e. empty).
