That makes the child nodes' reg property slightly more complex since I

lack of any ranges property within the top-level regulators node makes
it clear enough that the bus/child address space is not part of the
parent CPU's address space.

One would think that, but the of_address handling code actually treats
empty ranges the same as missing ranges, in violation of the spec,
and as a workaround to deal with some powermac machines that required
this.

I'd rather fix the code to deal with this correctly.
