I'll do that.  Tha variation across DTS is likely coming from ~5.10 devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt

        - #address-cells
...
                        # On ARM v8 64-bit systems value should be set to 2,
                          that corresponds to the MPIDR_EL1 register size.
                          If MPIDR_EL1[63:32] value is equal to 0 on all CPUs
                          in the system, #address-cells can be set to 1, since
                          MPIDR_EL1[63:32] bits are not used for CPUs
                          identification.

where the size of MPIDR_EL1 register is 2 for Elba cores.  However the shorthand is
allowed if MPIDR_EL1[63:32] bita are not used.

Latest version:

      On ARM v8 64-bit systems this property is required
        and matches the MPIDR_EL1 register affinity bits.

        * If cpus node's #address-cells property is set to 2

          The first reg cell bits [7:0] must be set to
          bits [39:32] of MPIDR_EL1.

          The second reg cell bits [23:0] must be set to
          bits [23:0] of MPIDR_EL1.

        * If cpus node's #address-cells property is set to 1

          The reg cell bits [23:0] must be set to bits [23:0]
          of MPIDR_EL1.

      All other bits in the reg cells must be set to 0.

Regards,
Brad
