The driver matching "zte,zx296718-vou" doesn't map or access the any
'reg' address.  The 'reg' property here is more like a hint telling
that the VOU block covers the address space of all child devices.

I will simply drop the 'reg' property here.

Okay.  I thought that empty 'ranges' is fine as long as parent and child
address spaces are identical (1:1 mapping).

So with your suggestion, I made the changes below.  Let me know if this
is still not what you are asking for.
