Okay so the "apb" node can be used for amba compatible devices
(arm,amba-bus) and/or simple platform devices (simple-bus). I guess
that's fine and I now see that there are some other dtsi also doing it
this way.

UART runs fine because you also have "simple-bus" listed as the
compatible string so uart is populated as standard platform device.

Sure.

I haven't checked the datahsheet but based on the layout (which seems
quite similar to Cygnus), I assume the range for these devices should be
0x18000000 - 0x18ffffff? Just want to make sure there are no other
devices come before 0x18000000 so you don't need to change all these reg
offsets in the future.
