Shoot, to get rid of the warning it should be

reg = <4 0 >;

But it works either way.

That means to go back to V1 really (almost :)). Which I do not mind.
Will give it a test run.

But I am a little hesitant if will be any better/cleaner. In your example above:

can at 0 {
         reg = <0 0x100>;
         ...
};

Would this really translate correctly? In the pl172 example they have
multiple ranges and address with "flash at 0,0" which a range defined in
parent node. "can at 0" does not have valid match in parent node in our
example. So I probably need add some more logic for it to properly
translate.

I have an idea which is following:

gmi at 70090000 {
         status = "okay";
         #address-cells = <2>;
         #size-cells = <1>;
         ranges = <4 0 0x48000000 0x00040000>;

         cs4 {
                 compatible = "simple-bus";
                 #address-cells = <2>;
                 #size-cells = <1>;
                 ranges;

                 nvidia,snor-cs = <4>;
                 nvidia,snor-mux-mode;
                 nvidia,snor-adv-inv;

                 can at 0 {
                         compatible = "nxp,sja1000";
                         reg = <4 0 0x100>;
                         ...
                 };


                 can at 40000 {
                         compatible = "nxp,sja1000";
                         reg = <4 0x40000 0x100>;
                         ...
                 };
         };
};

Do not know if above will work at all (not able to test at current
location), anyway I will play around with it some more and get back to
you.

Best Regards
