To explain a bit more what we are looking for: we had a internal
discussions how to structure this binding and are looking for some
guidance.

Should we create three different nodes for the three different memory
areas (dpfe-cpu@..., dpfe-dmem@..., dpfe-imem@...), each with a single
"reg" property (which is the proposal below) or should this be one
single property with 3 "reg" cells, i.e. something like this:

dpfe-cpu@f1132000 {
...
reg = <0xf1132000 0x180 /* register space */
0xf1134000 0x1000 /* data memory */
0xf1138000 0x4000>; /* instruction memory */
...
};

Regards,
-Markus
