(Sorry for not replying to my own mail; I'm doing this offline and my
sent mail doesn't show)

Looks like it is by design. With my dummy devices I see this:

10200c00-102023ff : /amba/overlap at 10200c00
  10201000-10201fff : /amba/dummy at 10201000
    10201400-10201bff : /amba/overlap at 10201400

All three of those devices are siblings in the device tree.
