I still don't understand why you need to use them both at the same
time.  Why don't you use nvidia,tegra124-* for Tegra124 and
nvidia,tegra132-* for Tegra132?

Okay, so these get shifted and &'ed into posstible 64bit addresses?

I guess I just thought ARM64 addresses would look like:

  0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 0xXXXX
