Personally I find this to be exposing implementation details of Linux -
unless there is something reusable about the binding that'd allow it to
be used to describe the contents of the chip the subnodes really aren't 
adding any information that wasn't present from just knowing the parent
chip.  If there were relocatable IPs it'd be a bit different.

If this macro is useful it should be a generic thing in the header, not
done driver local.

This looks wrong - the registers listed in _volatile_ranges are in fact
the ones that are not volatile.  I'd rename _volatile_ranges to
something like _cacheable_ranges.

Modern systems should be able to use module_i2c_driver() and deferred
probing - is this not working well?
