Yes, but OTOH arm32 Exynos SoCs just have an empty "ranges" property in their
soc device node (parent and child address space is the same, no translation)
so DTC doesn't complain about the unit address in those.

But others SoCs DTSI with a non-empty ranges property have an unit name in
their soc nodes, i.e for arm64 and arm32:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/berlin4ct.dtsi

arch/arm/boot/dts/da850.dtsi

If is wrong/unnatural to have addresses for soc nodes then I think DTC should
be patched to ignore these (like it will be the case for the OPP nodes AFAIU).
