The patch looks OK, I think.

Doesn't explain why that worked on MPC8272 (CPM2) and MPC8560
(also CPM2) machines though. But here's my guess (I no longer
have these boards to test it):

On 8272 I used this node:

+                       s...@4c0 {
+                               #address-cells = <1>;
+                               #size-cells = <0>;
+                               compatible = "fsl,cpm2-spi", "fsl,spi";
+                               reg = <0x11a80 0x40 0x89fc 0x2>;

On that SOC there are two muram data regions 0x0..0x2000 and
0x9000..0x9100. Note that we actually don't want "data" regions,
and the only reason why that worked is that sysdev/cpm_common.c
maps muram(0)..muram(max).

Thanks,
