Well, it's not a I2C controller, it is a MIPI CCI controller.

No need for reg-names, as we only have one.

No need for interrupt-names, as we only have one.

No need to document that the node can have the default pinctrl
properties.

Don't do qcom, in the node name, and there's probably no reason to have
a label for this node either. So just make it

		   cci@a0c000 {

In the case of this single cci block having two masters we need a way to
describe the two sets of clients. I think the two options we have are:

cci {
	client {
		reg = <0 0x2c>;
	};
};

The reg here being <master address>

or:

cci {
	master0 {
		client {
			reg = <0x2c>;
		};
	};
};

The name "master0" could be made significant and picked up by name, and
in the case of single-master this level could be omitted.


I like the first one, but it looks really hard to get implemented in
Linux, based on the i2c core's expectation that #address-cells is 1. So
I think the latter is the favourable option.
