My preference would be towards mmp2.dtsi. I've recommended doing it
that way to other people, too.

I thought the rule was that the @... part should be a translated address
in the presence of "ranges" translation so we get a unique value in case
we have multiple devices of the same name on the same address but on
different buses.

If we change this here, I suppose it also needs to be changed in a number
of other places, and we have to rethink the method for unique device
names.

Right. The implication for this however is that the driver cannot
treat the reg property as a physical address it can do ioremap on,
but needs to interface with the driver that provides the address
space.
