Could you explain why this was needed?  It seems to shift the addresses of all
the rest of the devices under the OPB.

That's probably true for newer U-Boot versions, but Katmai shipped with an old
version of U-Boot that wasn't FDT-aware.  Wouldn't this break a new kernel
on the older boards that don't have an updated U-Boot since the ranges property
will be missing entirely there?
