Okay, seems pretty specific to this chip. Just add a vendor prefix.

Except that reg format is already defined for SPI devices, so it's
going to have to be separate property.

For the binding it doesn't matter if a particular driver uses it or
not. If it's connected in a h/w design it should be in DT.
