Sounds reasonable, if there isn't an existing precedent to follow.

If you just want a plain index number, which is what it seems you have
here, then you'll want #address-cells = 1, #size-cells = 0 and reg
will then have one cell (i.e. 1 u32) with the index number

so 	subnode at 0 {
		reg = <0>;
	}
	subnode at 1 {
		reg = <1>;
	}

Note also that it's usual for the unit addresses (that's the bits
after the @ sign) to be formatted without leading zeroes.

Ok.
