Up to Russell, but reg property is required for i2c slaves and should
be documented.

Looking at nxp's website, detailed information about TDA[1]998x have
vanished. Luckily, there are some hints in the parametric search:

There is TDA998[14] without any CEC support and
TDA1998[89] with CEC support. Both TDA19988 and TDA19989 have
fixed i2c addresses 0x70 and 0x34 respectively.

So, the answer is:

Let the driver access CEC i2c slave only if it is TDA1998[89]. The
HDMI part should be quite compatible with TDA998x, so if anyone
has it on his board, he is invited to add proper support.

For the binding, reg address should contain reg property to the
HDMI i2c slave. Add proper compatibles/i2c_ids for nxp,tda19988 and
nxp,tda19989 and check that to add the CEC i2c slave on 0x34.

If, someday there will be a tda19990 with configurable addresses,
I am sure you can derive it from i2c main address, e.g. 0x70<>0x34,
0x71<>0x35, aso.

No need to take care of configurable CEC slave address now, neither
in the driver nor binding.
