After the suggestions that Grant made about the of_bus, I think the
fully dynamic model would actually be simpler than what you have here.
You wouldn't actually have to dissect the "ranges" property at all,
just keep the mapping table in memory for all devices that are in use,
with a special case for the internal-regs.
But I think that's fine, we can alway simplify the code later as long
as the binding covers all cases.
