Can you please explain the problem you're seeing in more detail? Without 
any context, my initial reaction is that this is simply a bug somewhere. 
That bug should be fixed, rather than introducing new APIs to hide the 
problem.

Looking at arch/arm/dts/exynos4412-trats2.dts, I see the following:


        i2c at 138d0000 {
                 samsung,i2c-sda-delay = <100>;
                 samsung,i2c-slave-addr = <0x10>;
                 samsung,i2c-max-bus-freq = <100000>;
                 status = "okay";

                 max77686_pmic at 09 {
                         compatible = "maxim,max77686";
                         interrupts = <7 0>;
                         reg = <0x09 0 0>;

Is that the node you're having problems with? If so, I believe this may 
simply be due to invalid DT content. In exynos4.dtsi, that i2c node is 
defined as:

         i2c at 138d0000 {
                 #address-cells = <1>;
                 #size-cells = <0>;

Thus, any reg property in a child of that node must only contain a 
single cell (the sum of #address-cells and #size-cells in the parent). 
Does fixing the DT so it's valid solve your issue at all?
