I added devicetree-discuss to the (quite long) CC list. I am not sure
about all of the bindings.

That one is not optional, or? You always need it but in most cases it
gets inherited as I understand.

To devicetree-folks: Can we argue this is a hardware property of the
bus? Then we could introduce a generic "timeout" property? I see, there
is already "fsl,timeout", and it won't make sense to have that per
vendor?

I'd prefer the hex value here, I2C addresses are mostly specified in
hex.
