How is the range being set here? The way I read this is:

"There is an external bus controller whose single CPU physical
address for MMIO is configurable. The chip always connects
a lan9220 device to it (as that is in the dtsi file) and
nothing else is possible, and the bootloader in this
version of the machine has configured the window to be
at address 0x40200000."

Is that what the hardware does?

I would have expected the opposite, with the external bus
interface being hardwired to one or more physical addresses
(more than one if you have multiple chip-selects), and
then allow to connect different devices, which are in the
.dts file, while the bus controller is defined in the
.dtsi file.
