• “The unit-address must match the first address specified in the reg property of the node. If the node has no reg property, the @unit-address must be omitted and the node-name alone differentiates the node from other nodes at the same level in the tree. The binding for a particular bus may specify additional, more specific requirements for the format of reg and the unit-address.”
