Agreed. I would love it if the platform OF code would create
IORESOURCE_REG resources for any reg properties that aren't
translatable to CPU addresses. That way we don't have to pick out
the reg property from DT with special OF code (like you've done
in rtc-pm8xxx). I'll throw the reg property into the binding so
that in the future we can support the register moving around
(although at the moment the driver will ignore it).
