You are defining overlapping resources. Don't do that.

It looks to me like you are creating nodes based on driver functions,
not h/w blocks. I would expect to see a memory controller node which
contains ECC related registers. If you have blocks with multiple
unrelated functions, then you should be using syscon to divide up the
functions to different subsystems like EDAC.
