Is it within some other address space? Register address suggests that.

In such case you should not create a device in the middle of other
device's address space. You punched a hole in uniform address space
which prevents creating that other device for entire space.

If this is separate address space with one register, then boottrap
sounds ok. If you have multiple read only registers with fused values,
then this is efuse region, so something like nvidia,tegra20-efuse.
