FWIW, I think using macros to pass INTERNAL_REGS_BASE is counterproductive.
It's much better to use literal numbers for those because then you
can see how things fit together by looking at the source.

The macros for the IDs seem fine, although I would actually find it
easier to have just one macro like

#define MBUS_ID(a, b) (((a) & 0xff) << 24 | ((b) & 0xff) << 16)

and pass the literals into that, to the effect of

soc {
	ranges = <1 0 0 0xd0000000 0x100000>,
		 <MBUS_ID(0x01, 0x2f) 0 0 0xfff00000 0x100000>,
		 <MBUS_ID(0x01, 0xe0) 0 0 0xf0000000 0x100000>;

I'd suggest having each macro expand only to a single value, to make
it clearer which numbers belong together in the ranges array.
