I'm not sure to get this one, are you suggesting to do something like
this:

#define AT91_EBICSA_REGFIELD(off)			\
	REG_FIELD(ebicsa_off, AT91_MATRIX_EBI_NUM_CS - 1)

I've told several times not to encode register offsets or register ids
in the DT :-) (and if I'm not mistaken that's what you're suggesting
here).

Sure.
