Indeed, it's listed in the required property list of the DT binding doc, but the code implement auto detection if reg is missing. However this line [1] clearly shows that specifying the reg property is the preferred way of doing things.
I could define 2 different sama5d3xcm.dtsi (sama5d3xcm-ronetix.dtsi and sama5d3xcm-embest.dtsi) to avoid this dirty hack, but then we would have 2 more dtb and the user would have to determine which CPU module he owns to choose the appropriate dtb. If at91, arm-soc and DT maintainers agree with this approach I can definitely propose something.

Thanks for your review.
Best Regards,
