Does this work? I tried to add an example like this and I got ...

Warning (reg_format): "reg" property in /gmi at 70009000/bus at 4 has invalid
length (4 bytes) (#address-cells == 1, #size-cells == 1)

Shoot, to get rid of the warning it should be

reg = <4 0 >;

But it works either way.

The CS node should have #address-cells=2 with the first being CS# and 
the second being the offset (often 0).

I am wondering if we should just following the arm,pl172 example and
have ...

        cs4 {
                compatible = "simple-bus";
                #address-cells = <1>;
                #size-cells = <1>;
                ranges;

Empty ranges is typically wrong and due to laziness...

This should have the CS# in it.

                nvidia,snor-cs = <4>;
                nvidia,snor-mux-mode;
                nvidia,snor-adv-inv;

                can at 0 {
                        reg = <0 0x100>;

This can be 1 cell with just the offset.

quoted

                        ...
                };

                ...
        };

That means to go back to V1 really (almost :)). Which I do not mind.
Will give it a test run.

But I am a little hesitant if will be any better/cleaner. In your example above:

can at 0 {
         reg = <0 0x100>;
         ...
};

Would this really translate correctly? In the pl172 example they have
multiple ranges and address with "flash at 0,0" which a range defined in
parent node. "can at 0" does not have valid match in parent node in our
example. So I probably need add some more logic for it to properly
translate.

pl172 has several things I don't like, so don't follow it. Mainly those 
are custom CS property and 3 levels of nodes. I'm fine with 3 levels if 
there is more than one device, but otherwise 2 levels with timing 
properties in the child device node.

I have an idea which is following:

gmi at 70090000 {
         status = "okay";
         #address-cells = <2>;
         #size-cells = <1>;
         ranges = <4 0 0x48000000 0x00040000>;

         cs4 {

cs at 4,0

                 compatible = "simple-bus";
                 #address-cells = <2>;

1 cell here.

                 #size-cells = <1>;
                 ranges;

Fill this in to drop the 2nd cell on child addresses and just have the 
offset.

                 nvidia,snor-cs = <4>;

NAK, no custom CS properties.

                 nvidia,snor-mux-mode;
                 nvidia,snor-adv-inv;

                 can at 0 {
                         compatible = "nxp,sja1000";
                         reg = <4 0 0x100>;
                         ...
                 };


                 can at 40000 {
                         compatible = "nxp,sja1000";
                         reg = <4 0x40000 0x100>;
                         ...
                 };
         };
};

Do not know if above will work at all (not able to test at current
location), anyway I will play around with it some more and get back to
you.
