This gets rid of the need for a pointless 'reg' property for i2c
arbitrators.

I.e. this new and more compact style

some-arbitrator {
i2c-arb {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

some-i2c-device@50 {
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
};

instead of the old

some-arbitrator {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

i2c@0 {
reg = <0>;

#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

some-i2c-device@50 {
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
};
