In general, the format of an address for a device is defined by the
parent bus type, based on the #address-cells and #size-cells
property. In the absence of such a property, the parent's parent
values are used, etc... The kernel requires the root node to have
those properties defining addresses format for devices directly mapped

and #size-cells are not inhereted so every node with children must specify
them. The kernel requires the root node to have those properties defining

Those 2 properties define 'cells' for representing an address and a
size. A "cell" is a 32-bit number. For example, if both contain 2
