Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/7] i2c: allow DT nodes without 'compatible'
Date:   Thu, 20 Feb 2020 18:23:59 +0100
Message-Id: <20200220172403.26062-4-wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com>

Sometimes, we have unknown devices in a system and still want to block
their address. For that, we allow DT nodes with only a 'reg' property.
These devices will be bound to the "dummy" driver but with the name
"reserved". That way, we can distinguish them and even hand them over to
the "dummy" driver later when they are really requested using
i2c_new_ancillary_device().
