So chipid at 1000_0000

and efuse at 1000_0000 from your other patchset and your sentence above.

Please add them to DTS and check for warnings.

I think in the SoC it is impossible or at least never happening that you
create two devices for the same address, therefore either chipid is a
device or efuse is a device.
