I omitted those from the documentation. Rob's bot is usually quick to
alert me when I forgot to run dt_binding_check and something fails
though. I'll double check, but I thought everything passed.

This one Vladimir brought up as well. The MIPS cousin of this chip
is the VSC7514. They have exactly (or almost exactly) the same hardware,
except the 7514 has an internal MIPS while the 7512 has an 8051.

Both chips can be controlled externally via SPI or PCIe. This is adding
control for the chip via SPI.

For the 7514, you can see there's an array of 20 register ranges that
all get mmap'd to 20 different regmaps.

(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mscc,vsc7514-switch.yaml)

switch@1010000 {
compatible = "mscc,vsc7514-switch";
reg = <0x1010000 0x10000>,
<0x1030000 0x10000>,
<0x1080000 0x100>,
<0x10e0000 0x10000>,
<0x11e0000 0x100>,
<0x11f0000 0x100>,
<0x1200000 0x100>,
<0x1210000 0x100>,
<0x1220000 0x100>,
<0x1230000 0x100>,
<0x1240000 0x100>,
<0x1250000 0x100>,
<0x1260000 0x100>,
<0x1270000 0x100>,
<0x1280000 0x100>,
<0x1800000 0x80000>,
<0x1880000 0x10000>,
<0x1040000 0x10000>,
<0x1050000 0x10000>,
<0x1060000 0x10000>,
<0x1a0 0x1c4>;
reg-names = "sys", "rew", "qs", "ptp", "port0", "port1",
"port2", "port3", "port4", "port5", "port6",
"port7", "port8", "port9", "port10", "qsys",
"ana", "s0", "s1", "s2", "fdma";

The suggestion was to keep the device trees of the 7512 and 7514 as
similar as possible, so this will essentially become:
switch@71010000 {
compatible = "mscc,vsc7512-switch";
reg = <0x71010000 0x10000>,
<0x71030000 0x10000>,
...
