A simpler version of this change in /ahb I successfully tested with EMC
yesterday:

-               ranges = <0x20000000 0x20000000 0x30000000>;
+               ranges = <0x20000000 0x20000000 0x30000000
+                         0xe0000000 0xe0000000 0x04000000>;

Yes, I personally would prefer to see the first version as the simplest
working one, if needed it should be converted to the second one later on.

Sure, I'll review the highlighted problems, thanks.
