Sorry for being vague.

I am specifically referring to the conversation in
the thread "[PATCH 11/14] arm64: dts: Add initial device tree support for
EXYNOS7" and in particular the following contribution to that discussion by
Olof:

	"Ok, I'm happily proven wrong here, also by confirming how this is
	 done on "real" OF.

	 According to benh:

	 15:20 <benh> ojn: 0,0 is not quite right, it's supposed to be used
	 when the two numbers are different things, like device,fn on PCI

	 The same is true for >2^32 unit addresses, they just use the one
	 integer instead of x,y.

	 So, I take back all I've said on this in the last 72 hours. :) It
	 looks like we might need to revisit some of the 32-bit DTs.  Simon,
	 drop the series you had. :)"
