OK - a separate entry for reg, independent of the VCM.

For the VCM I won't assume either way then. The bridge instantiates it
from the second I2C resource of _CRS, so v5 skips it only when that
resource's address is the sensor's AON address from the table, as it
is on this machine; a module with a real VCM there is handled as
before.
