I'm okay with doing this for QE, but I don't see it used in any QE code.

That's okay, as long as you don't break compatibility with older
device trees that don't have that property, unless you can demonstrate
that these trees would never work with the current kernel anyway.

I think this is a good idea, but it looks like we'll need to define a
whole bunch of new structures to replace all of the "+ offset" usages.
