No, the ranges should in general be correct; I've checked this with
other devices. The register space of a single zs channel is indeed 4
bytes, but IIRC each channel has a separate device node, and there was
some oddity which required both channels to use the register addresses
specified in the first one, which is why the zs driver attaches two
zsttys to the first device, and does not attach to the second zs
instance. Jake can probably give more details on that.
