My guess is that sgx is just a private interconnect instance
with few control modules like mmu and clocks, and the driver(s)
should consist of independent modules like iommu and clock
driver.

So yeah I agree, it's best to leave reg names out of the
dts at least for now.

Unfortunately TI is stuffing the interconnect target module
control registers at random places within the unused register
space of the child module(s). So the module control registers
are all over the map at various offsets.

Adding holes for each module control register to the child nodes
seems like an overkill to work around this IMO. Especially
considering many drivers only understand one IO range currently.
