I think you need to have a defined compatible string for the bootrom,
use one of the of_find.. functions to locate the node, then translate
the regs to get a CPU address, ensure it is the right base and size..

You'll need to define a bootrom binding. There is not a lot of sense
in including things in the DT if the kernel can't find them and use
them.
