Do we need a separate of_fixup registered for fixing up the mbus? Can't
we just call mvebu_mbus_of_fixup() directly from mvebu_mbus_add_range()?

This won't be very efficient for dove which calls mvebu_mbus_add_range()
twice so it has to iterate over the device tree twice, but it should
work, right?
