Yes this is the same bus, however we are not including all of
it as it maps some host registers that we do not want to access
at this time.

Yes this was incorrect, I believe it should be:

ranges = <0x0 0x80000000 0xf000000>, /* 0x80000000 - 0x8f000000 */
<0x40000000 0xc0000000 0x3fffffff>; /* 0xc0000000 - 0xffffffff */

I will create a v5 version of this patchset with just this and the
defconfig for your review.

My understanding was that the physical address would be the
0x80000000 from the first range plus the 0xf00000 to be
0x80f00000?

Thank you,
