I like it! Only one address to change in the next chip.
Minimizes the risk of missing something.

(I see that armada did something similar, but they also grouped
unrelated stuff. And bcm5301x did exactly what you suggested.)

Wondering if there are macro definitions for the intra-SCU offsets?
So I could have symbolic names, such as

  twd-timer at 0600 {
    reg = <TWD_OFFSET 0x10>

Didn't see anything appropriate in include and arch/arm.
Should I include my own definitions at the top of the dtsi?

Regards.
