The UniPhier System Bus is an external bus that connects on-board devices to the UniPhier SoC. Each bank (chip select) is dynamically mapped to the CPU-viewed address base via the bus controller. The bus controller must be configured before any access to the bus. This driver parses the "ranges" property of the System Bus node and initialized the bus controller. After the bus becomes ready, devices below it are populated. Note: Each bank can be mapped anywhere in the supported address space; there is nothing preventing us from assigning bank 0 on 0x42000000, 0x43000000, or anywhere as long as such region is not used by others. So, the "ranges" is just one possible software configuration, which does not seem to fit in device tree because device tree is a hardware description language. However, of_translate_address() requires "ranges" in every bus node between CPUs and device mapped on the CPU address space. In other words, "ranges" properties must be statically defined in device tree. After some discussion, I decided the dynamic address reassignment by the driver is too bothersome. Instead, the device tree should provide a reasonable translation setup that the OS can rely on.
