Patch description? I'd suggest deriving this from the first paragraph in
the binding doc.

Rather than "SPI1/2", I'd say "this universal SPI master", since the
description of the two types of controller doesn't mention that SPI1/2
are the universal SPI master.

Sharing a reg entry between multiple devices almost always turns out to
be a mistake. At the very least, the drivers can't claim the region
since regions can't be claimed multiple times. Is there any way to avoid
this entirely?

If not, perhaps you need to create a separate driver to manage the
shared register block.
