Ok, got it.

As I see it, the problem is that you now have ranges that are not
for devices inside of the device but that are external. As the
memory-controller node needs both its own registers and the translation
for the external ones, we unfortunately can't just put it in the root
node, which would avoid the issue.

Instead, I would suggest adding a range for the 0xe0000000 area.
