ACK, will update with the possibility of managing CS in software.

I prefer if we have "ranges" with one single entry, and warn if user enters
multiple for now, like we discussed earlier. Should have really done it in
this series.

Yes, that is true.

I was hesitant documenting it since I am not sure if we really need it
in a generic case? It does make sense in my
specific case. But what would it look like if we could maintain CS in software.

Do you then have a bus node per CS? I am guessing not. Is it enough to
document it in my "example brief"?

I should probably extend the example with some more configurations,
e.g. only one child node.

What I am thinking is something like

Example with two SJA1000 CAN controllers connected to the GMI bus.
We wrap the controllers with a  simple-bus node since they are
all connected to the same chip-select (CS4) but external address decoding is
provided in hardware:

  gmi@70090000 {
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <1>;
    ranges = <4 0x48000000 0x00040000>;

    bus@4 {
      compatible = "simple-bus";
      reg = <4>;

      #address-cells = <1>;
      #size-cells = <1>;

      nvidia,snor-mux-mode;
      nvidia,snor-adv-inv;

      can@0 {
        reg = <0 0x100>;
        ...
      };

      can@40000 {
        reg = <0x40000 0x100>;
        ...
      };
    };
  };

Example with one SJA1000 CAN controller connected to the GMI bus
on CS4:

  gmi@70090000 {
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <1>;
    ranges = <4 0x48000000 0x00040000>;

   can@4 {
      nvidia,snor-mux-mode;
      nvidia,snor-adv-inv;
      reg = <4 0x100>;
      ...
   };
};

ACK.
