Just for my curiosity, can you please link me to the extra FreeBSD checks?

Anyway, I'm not sure what is more "broken", to have a "ranges" property
when no address translation takes place, or for that "ranges" property
to be set to a confusing "child address space" value. That's not to say
I have an objection against Shawn merging the patch.

My main point was slightly different though, the "ranges" property is
currently mandatory, although in this case it provides no information
which cannot be retrieved directly from the config space. Properties
that have no other use except to be pedantic are, well, useless.
Maybe we can do something about that too.
