I'm concerned about merging this without translation support. First, I'd question its usefulness without it. Second, it may encourage people to write their DTs without any ranges just so this will work. I tried to upstream the kernel and u-boot implementations to libfdt in April 2014 (I couldn't find an archive). We've got to get it relicensed and then David didn't like the implementation. He said he was about to post his version, but then it derailed into PCI handling. There's another implementation in the kernel powerpc boot code that may be easier to re-license.
