Describing sub nodes, especially for big SoC is pretty useful. It is as useful as doing that for board that are sharing similar components.
The concern here is that the device tree you're writing here is clearly just a direct translation of the particular stuff Linux happens to use internally into device tree; this is similar to the thing with using hwmod in the device tree representation and omitting basic stuff like the register ranges.
I agree we should not omit the register ranges from DT. That is hardware specific information that other operating systems possibly need, and they don't have hwmod.
