Hmmm. I'd be tempted just to put the entire node definition there; putting in a .dtsi file just to share the reg property doesn't seem especially useful.
The 'compatible' property is defined in the SoC-specific .dtsi files, since the compatible string identifies the number of pins and other SoC-specific properties.

What is "ranges" for; this isn't a memory-mapped bus, right?
