Ok, got it, thanks for your patience.

I think this would best be modeled as a separate bus node that contains the
restriction, like this:

/ {
	#address-cells = <1>; // or <2> if you support > 4GB address space
	#size-cells = <1>;

	soc {
		#address-cells <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		ranges;
		dma-ranges;

		... // all normal devices

		axi at 20000000 {
			#size-cells = <1>;
			#address-cells = <1>;
			dma-ranges; // can access all 4GB outbound
			ranges = <0 0x20000000 0x10000000>; // 28-bit bus

			pci at 0 {
				reg = <0x0    0x1000>, // internal regs
				      <0x1000 0x2000>; // config space
				dma-ranges; // 32-bit outbound
				ranges = <0x81000000 0 0           0x3000 0 0x00010000  /* IO */
					  0x82000000 0 0x20013000 0x13000 0 0xffed000>; /* MEM */
			};
		};
	};
};
