Sorry, I just want to confirm that I understand why this needs to be 
fixed. The parent node has #address-cells = <2>, and the practice of 
specifying two cells in the node name is consistent with what I see in 
http://www.devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage.

However in the device tree usage example one can interpret the two cells 
as being two different components of the address, whereas in our case we 
are using two cells because the address is 64-bit - hence we should 
specify it in the name as a single entity. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Alex.
