Hi Ezequiel,

apologies in advance for commenting on an already-merged patch.

Apart from "consistency" with the following range (0xf5000000) used by 
the crypto node, is there any reason why you did not do something like 
this instead (which Valentin suggested, but I will take the blame for):

-		ranges = <0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x4000000
+		ranges = <0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0100000
+		          0x03000000 0xf4000000 0x0000400
   		          0xf5000000 0xf5000000 0x0000400>;

This would keep a consistent addressing within the child device bus, and 
avoid a later incosistency between the "unit-address" and the first 
"reg" address:

I guess the same could be done for the third range and for the crypto 
node as well:

-		ranges = <0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x4000000
-  		          0xf5000000 0xf5000000 0x0000400>;
+		ranges = <0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0100000
+		          0x03000000 0xf4000000 0x0000400
+		          0x04000000 0xf5000000 0x0000400>;

		crypto at 30000 {
			compatible = "marvell,orion-crypto";
			reg = <0x30000 0x10000>,
-			      <0xf5000000 0x800>;
+			      <0x04000000 0x800>;
			reg-names = "regs", "sram";
			interrupts = <22>;
			clocks = <&gate_clk 17>;
			status = "okay";
		};

Does the above make sense?
Or would that clash with your latest mvebu-mbus device tree binding?
(Which, BTW, I have not quite understood yet).

Thank you,
Gerlando
