Node names need to be generic - since this is a bug it needs to be:
bus@fe000000 {
Or if you want to make it clear how this bus is called then you can use:
apb: bus@fe000000 {

Will fix it.
The same comment applies to the amlogic-a5.dtsi patch (4/4).
And while here, I fully agree with Jerome: having a bit more details
would be great so we can judge on whether a common .dtsi makes sense.
For this it would be helpful to know how many IP blocks those two SoCs
have in common and how many are different.

They are mostly the same, but the follow-on series is unclear, and I would like to wait for the follow-on chips to come out before considering a merger with common dtsi file.

Best regards,
Martin
