All the subnodes seem to fall inside of the device's own register
area, so I think it would be nicer to use a specific 'ranges'
property that only translates the registers in question.

I don't think it's necessary to have both an alias
and a label here. What do you use the alias for?

These should really be written as inline functions. Can you
explain why you need to deal with a big-endian version of this
hardware? Can you configure the endianess of this register block
and just set it to one of the two at boot time?

Functions again. Also, just pass a pointer to your own data structure
into the function, instead of the 'be' and 'base' values.

The 'set' and 'reset' functions look like they need a spinlock
to avoid races.
