As you shown me last time with excerpt of address spaces from
datasheet/manual, the binding correctly describes the hardware and above
sentence is not true.

Imprecise wording. "start of the main or primary register range"

(if you have 0x1000 with one reg and 0x20000000 with everything, the
unit address will be 0x20000000).

This is fine for me.
