I have simply/stupidly followed the datasheet, which says: Packet processor: 0xf2000000, 0xf4000000 (i.e offset 0x0 in the CP) Networking interfaces: 0xf2100000, 0xf4100000 (i.e offset 0x100000 in the CP) IO Bridge Addr Decoding: 0xf2190000, 0xf4190000 And since there is no other block described, I assumed that the entire range 0xf2000000 to 0xf2100000 was dedicated to the "Packet processor", and that the range 0xf2100000 to 0xf2190000 was dedicated to the "Networking interfaces" (and I realize the size is 0x90000, not 0x80000). On the other hand, there are registers after 0x125fff that are really networking related. For example, the driver is currently accessing 0x12a204, which is after the SERDES related registers. I'll try to get some more information about this, but I suspect this is one case where we don't yet fully understand how all the HW works and what all registers are doing, so it's hard to do a perfect DT binding from day 1.
