Both my examples were using sibling nodes in the OF tree.

	pex@e0000000 {
		device_type = "pci";
		ranges = <0x02000000 0x00000000 0x00000000  0xe0000000  0x0 0x8000000>;
		bus-range = <0x0 0xFF>;
		chip@0 {
			ranges = <0x02000000 0x00000000 0x00000000  0x02000000 0x00000000 0x00000000  0x0 0x8000000>;
			chip_control@0 {
				compatible = "orc,chip,control";
				assigned-addresses = <0x02000000 0x0 0x0  0x0 4096>;
			};

			gpio3: chip_gpio@8 {
			        #gpio-cells = <2>;
				compatible = "linux,basic-mmio-gpio";
				gpio-controller;
				reg-names = "dat", "set", "dirin";
				assigned-addresses = <0x02000000 0x0 0x8  0x0 4>,
				                     <0x02000000 0x0 0xc  0x0 4>,
				                     <0x02000000 0x0 0x10  0x0 4>;
			};

Non-conformant yes, but it is the simplest way to get linux to bind
two drivers to the same memory space.
