dt-bindings: i2c: add support for 'i2c-arb' subnode
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>; }; }; }; Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se>

+Common i2c arbitration bus properties.

+- i2c-arb child node

+Required properties for the i2c-arb child node:
+- #address-cells = <1>;
+- #size-cells = <0>;

+Optional properties for i2c-arb child node:
+- Child nodes conforming to i2c bus binding
