[PATCH V4 1/5] ARM: add infra-structure for BCM2835 and Raspberry Pi

I guess I can see the advantage of having the .dts reg values match the
documentation. I just worry that doing so is more about matching the
documentation rather than describing the true HW. Still, I suppose with
the ranges property, it's clear what the true physical addresses are..
It also introduces a completely fake bus just to perform the address
re-writing; I wonder if putting the ranges property at the top-level
node work instead?.

I don't think it easily works with the reg property in the root.
Having a node for the "soc" components isn't all that unusual,
a bunch of other platforms do that.

The advantage is that we have something to conceptually group
all the on-chip components, and it works with the infrastructure
in drivers/base/soc.c.

So  now that almost everything is ack'd, how should this get into the
tree - will you take (an updated version of) these patches and apply
them directly to arm-soc, or should I commit them and send a pull
request? (For the latter, I'd have to look up how to create a new k.org
git repo).

We can do whatever suits you best. Pull requests are slightly faster
to import. It's also ok if you use the linux-tegra git this time fi that
helps you.
