Change the unit addresses (i.e. use ranges). The main reason ranges
with translation is preferred is it limits the scope of the bus as the
h/w design typically would.

Agreed. I'm not asking for everything to be fixed.

The example is an example. It doesn't have to match dts files (if it
always did, then examples would be pointless). So please fix the
documentation now. The dts files can be updated separately.
