oops, I missed this earlier (and, I just corrected in my own code).
Arnd says Linux uses inclusive sizes, so the above should be 0x100.
Please correct for all register sizes.

The clock-frequency property complicates that, since it is different
from board to board.  of_serial appears to print an error message if
clock-frequency isn't set, so would this work:

### blah.dtsi ###
...
	serial at f1012100 {
		compatible = "ns16550a";
		reg = <0xf1012100 0xff>;
		reg-shift = <2>;
		interrupts = <34>;
		/* no clock set */
		status = "disabled";
	}
#################

then,

### blah-foo.dts ###
...
	serial at f1012100 {
		status = "ok";
		clock-frequency = <166666667>;
	}

Okay, that's pretty slick.  The wdt and intc are at 0xfed00000, is that
another ocp bus?  Or, am I missing something?

thx,

Jason.
