We don't say "chip select, address offset and length" anywhere else in
this document.  The reg format expected by the parent node should be
documented in the binding for the parent node (e.g. you could find the
node with a different reg format if for some reason it's not under a
localbus node, such as may happen in certain virtualization
scenarios).  

All you need to say here is that there is one reg region, which
describes the CPLD registers.

Why do you need #address-cells/#size-cells?

If you do need them, where is ranges and/or a description of what the
child reg format is?
