Ok. If I understand the SoC topology correctly it should actually be
something like that:

{
...
fpi@xxxxx {
compatible = "intel,lgm-fpi", "simple-bus";

/* You might have other ranges to define here */
ranges = <0x16000000 0xe0000000 0x1000000>;

...

ebu@xxxx {
compatible = "intel,lgm-ebu", "simple-bus";
ranges;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&ebu_nand_base &ebu_cs1>;

/*
* Add your PCI and NOR controller definitions
* here.
*/
...

nand-controller@16f00000 {
compatible = "intel,lgm-ebu-nand-controller";
reg = <0x16f00000 0x100>,
<0x17000000 0x300>,
<0x17400000 0x80000>,
<0x17c00000 0x10000>;
reg-names = "ebunand", "hsnand",
"cs0", cs1";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

/*
* I'm not sure if those belong here: if the
* DMA channels and clocks are shared by all
* controllers attached to the EBU they should
* be moved to the EBU node.
*/
dmas = <&dma0 8>, <&dma0 9>;
dma-names = "rx", "tx";
clocks = <&cgu0 LGM_GCLK_EBU>;

nand@1 {
reg = <1>;
nand-ecc-mode = "hw";
}
}
}
}
}
