Hello Conor,

A cycle has been detected:
Above, you defer to Maxime.
Yet later, he wrote:
"DT maintainers have required that reg is always present"


I propose we NOT mark the "reg" property as required.
(Thus, keep the binding as proposed in v3.)

Rationale:

- The device can be statically configured by pin straps,
in which case it is NOT connected to an I2C bus.

- Even if the device IS connected to an I2C bus,
no I2C accesses are required if the default configuration
meets the ODM's needs.

Is that OK with you? Can I get your Amen?

Regards
