I thought the reason had been that U-Boot didn't support any more than
32-bits for addresses on 32-bit ARM anyway, hence we never bothered to
sync with the kernel DTS files regarding #address-cells.

Technically it would be possible for someone to write a DTS file with a
GPU node with yet another name (the binding after all doesn't specify
what the node name should be) so I think better matching would be safer
in any case.
