No those are just memory addresses (although I may have screwed up the
order). From Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt:
"""
Optional property:
- dma-ranges: <prop-encoded-array> encoded as arbitrary number of triplets of
(child-bus-address, parent-bus-address, length). Each triplet specified
describes a contiguous DMA address range.
