Yeah, indeed, false alarm. Sorry for noise.

But it will be very nice to hear developers opinion about ePAPR1.1 row
(about "range" property):
"If the property is not present in a bus node, it is assumed that no
mapping exists between children of the node and the parent address
space."

Assuming since in most cases root node have no "ranges" property, but
his child "SOC" have that property with defaults (0x0 x 0xffffffff).
So nodes which have property "ranges" or not, must be processed same
way. Right?
