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, Ben.
