I can not really follow:
* the node is defined in the dtsi included by all 3 soc,
   and it is available on all so it sits where for example
   spi0 or uart0 is located
* as for arm64: this describes the registers that are
   identical for arm and arm64 and the bcm2837.dtsi
   is also including ../../../../arm/boot/dts/bcm283x.dtsi

So what is the problem?

Martin

P.s the patches apply cleanly against master.
