minItems = maxItems = 6

i.e. the first two entries are the address, next two is the size and
last two is the flag.
<0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000 0x0 (AX45MP_PMACFG_ETYP_NAPOT |
AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_NON_CACHE_BUF)>;
^^ This is
dummy and always be 0x0

Is the above OK?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll fix it in the next version.
