Hrm, something isn't adding up here.

A) Do a "git grep" and you'll see that nobody else has the length.

$ git grep -C2 -- qcom,spmi-temp-alarm | grep reg

arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pm8841.dtsi-                     reg = <0x2400>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pm8941.dtsi-                     reg = <0x2400>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pma8084.dtsi-                    reg = <0x2400>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8916.dtsi-                   reg = <0x2400>;

B) The SPMI bus you're adding it to has "#size-cells = <0>;"  ...as do
all other SPMI busses:

$ git grep -C5 qcom,spmi-pmic | grep size-cells
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pm8841.dtsi-             #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pm8841.dtsi-             #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pm8941.dtsi-             #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pm8941.dtsi-             #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pma8084.dtsi-            #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-pma8084.dtsi-            #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8004.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8004.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8005.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8005.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8916.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8916.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8994.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8994.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8998.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pm8998.dtsi-           #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pmi8994.dtsi-          #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/pmi8994.dtsi-          #size-cells = <0>;

...I have no SPMI history, but my guess is that upstream dropped this
because all SPMI devices have 256-byte regions (see
qcom,spmi-pmic.txt)?


So probably the right thing is to fix the qcom,spmi-temp-alarm not to
have the size...
