This gets rid of the need for a pointless 'reg' property for i2c
arbitrators.
I.e. this new and more compact style
some-arbitrator {
i2c-arb {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
some-i2c-device@50 {
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
};
instead of the old
some-arbitrator {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
i2c@0 {
reg = <0>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
some-i2c-device@50 {
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
};
