If the two ranges are actually translated separately on the
bus, you could also decide to enumerate the translations with
a 64-bit local address and make the upper word an enumeration,
such as

ranges = <0x1 0x0 0x80000000 0xf000000>,
         <0x2 0x0 0xc0000000 0x30000000>;

then you get small numbers again in the 'reg' properties
that are easier to read and ideally match the bus-local
numbers from the hardware manual.

Now it almost matches, except for the final byte, as the
range actually ends at 0xfffffffe not 0xffffffff if you make
the size one byte less than 1GB.

Is there a special register in the last byte?

I suppose the physical address in the old mapping was actually
outside of the 0xc0000000-0xefffffff range, so it wasn't
even accessible. If the addresses are interpreted to wrap around
at the end of the mapping, that would have made the CPU visible
address 0xe0f00000 (0xc0000000 + (0x80f00000 % 0x30000000)).
If it just wrapped around as a 32-bit number, it would be
0x40f00000 ((0xc0000000 + 0x80f00000)% 0x100000000), but I
don't see you you'd get to 80f00000.
