Which system is affected? Asking so I can inspect the DTS file
and figure out how this needs to work.

Sounds like I should go back to the original approach in patch v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/20230417-ux500-sram-v1-2-5924988bb835@xxxxxxxxxx/

and also augment the DTS binding text to say it uses the full node name
including the address.

Does that look OK to you, or will this regress your system as well?
