spurious warning from of_i2c_register_device with fixed_regulator?

Hi!

We are getting this in the logs:

i2c i2c-0: of_i2c: invalid reg on /soc/i2c@ffc04000/vcc3p3-regulator

In the dts we have:

socfpga_cyclone5_sockit.dts:
regulator_3_3v: vcc3p3-regulator {
compatible = "regulator-fixed";
regulator-name = "VCC3P3";
regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
};

Which seems to trigger

drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c:
addr_be = of_get_property(node, "reg", &len);
if (!addr_be || (len < sizeof(*addr_be))) {
dev_err(&adap->dev, "of_i2c: invalid reg on %s\n",
...

But we have fixed regulator there, it does not have "reg" property.

Git blame says: a430a3455f2c48995e06b359a82a1109a419e9ef. (And no, I
don't have exactly mainline kernel here, but it should be close enough.)

Best regards,
Pavel
