I agree, the semantics here became a little bit odd.

I do not think we should list the 0xfc428000 region as a memory-region,
as it's "device memory" and I do like the fact that we don't repeat
ourselves with listing the memory-region as a reg.

Therefor I think this is the least ugly option, but the address in the
name of the node should be updated.
