Any particular reason to special-case it, when we already need code to 
do it the other way for every other fsl soc?

Enh.  The soc node *is* the immr "device".  I'd rather add a node for 
the "initial" registers (they generally don't involve configuring the 
immr "bus" itself, but rather the chipselect bus and other miscellaneous 
things) if needed, get rid of /soc/reg, and have ranges cover the whole 
immr.

And why is 82xx-pq2 special?  Wouldn't you need this on 83xx, 85xx, and 
86xx as well?
