So it's actually a register block that can be remapped to anywhere in
MMIO address space. DeviceTree usually passes firmware's mapping location
to kernel.

There are some other similar bindings like mti,mips-cdmm and mti,mips-cpc,
I just copied phraseology from them, should I try to explain it more here?
The description that you've given here is of something that sounded
awfully like mapping into a location in DDR etc, is it actually being
mapped into a non-memory address?
It is an overlay being realized at CPU core level so it can be mapped at any
where, but the firmware convention is to map it to a "non-memory address".
