This works, but it seems oddly inconsistent with the way we do the same thing
for PCI, USB and MMC devices that normally don't need device tree properties but
can optionally have those.

All of the above use the "compatible" property to identify the device,
rather than
using the "reg" property. Neither of them is actually great here,
since we already
know what the device is and how to talk to it, but I'd still prefer doing this
with

       compatible = "virtio,34";

or similar, where 34 is the numerical value of VIRTIO_ID_I2C_ADAPTER.
This would then be required in the virtio-i2c binding.
I think you can skip the #address-cells/#size-cells then.
