*snip*

I'm not directly opposed, but I have used the following and DT booting
works like a charm here.

		mcp4651-104@28 {
			compatible = "mcp4651-104";
			reg = <0x28>;
		};

But, I suppose some DT documentation is not bad, and my understanding of
the device instantiation process and the i2c/dt interactions are not
complete, so my DT snippet might be an abomination? I'll leave the
decision if this is needed to someone with more experience on how other
drivers handle this.

Cheers,
Peter
