OK, looking at of_translate_one() comments it looks like a missing "ranges" property is
only accepted on PowerPC. I suggest you have an empty "ranges" property in your isa
parent node, that will signal to the OF parsing code that the mapping is 1:1. Then have
the IPMI node use the reg = <0x0 0xe4 4>; property values instead of reg = <0x1 0xe4 4>;
