That one at least have MMIO as well. No I wonder whether the others will
come without MMIO one day.
Why this cannot be sent all at once? Entire device binding?

reg is fine, but you added ranges which means there is translation
between child addressing and parent MMIO. Usually, although not always,
when child is expected to use parent's syscon, you do not have ranges,
because the syscon deals with that translation.
What's more, your @20 means you depend on one specific value of ranges.
I would just skip the ranges and claim there is no direct mapping of
addresses. Reg defines offsets within this device addressing and this
device will handle it.

How? I did not see any '-', only adding here.
