Yes, because the DT language doesn't have a += operator, basically.
Some of the MBus ranges are inherently board-specific: when you have a
NOR flash, you need a specific MBus range for it. And such a MBus range
is board-specific.
Since it's not possible to do:
ranges = <SoC level ranges>
in .dtsi, and:
ranges += <board level ranges>
in .dts, we simply decided to always put:
ranges = <SoC level and board level ranges>
in the .dts.
It does create some duplication, but that's the best we could do with
the existing DT infrastructure.
Best regards,
Thomas
