so the node really is
describing the internal bus, not the entire SoC.  On some chips it is
documented as the "internally memory mapped registers", or IMMR.  So,
it is better to name this node in a way that reflects what it is (an
internal bus) instead of as the whole chip.
It's not even the internal bus. Flipper and Hollywood are separate chips
from the PPC afaik. They are integrated northbridge + gfx + IOs
basically.
Similarly, it is better to use a compatible value of something like:
compatible = "nintendo,flipper-immr"; (instead of "nintendo,flipper")
because your describing just the internal bus, not the entire chip. 
I would just call the nodes "flipper" and "hollywood".

Cheers,
