I didn't noticed that we already do have the ranges 1:1 mapping, sorry!

@Rob
A "ranges = <0x0 0x30c00000 0x400000>;" would make writing/syncing the
.dtsi harder since NXP decided to use use global addresses in their
technical reference manual.

@Laurentiu
Could you please add a "ranges = <0x30c00000 0x30c00000 0x400000>;" for
the bus? Of course it is still a 1:1 mapping but limits the bus size
which can be helpful if someone add a device on the wrong bus.

Sorry for my previous suggestion on your V2 which seems more reasonable
now.

Regards,
  Marco
