recommended to define nodes for on chip devices and other buses that
don't specifically fit in an existing OF specification. This creates a
great flexibility in the way the kernel can then probe those and match
among others, by kexec. If you are on an SMP system, this value
should match the content of the "reg" property of the CPU node in
