It's quite legitimate for a DT node to specify #size-cells=0. One example
is a node that's used to collect a number of non-memory-mapped devices.
In that scenario, there may be multiple child nodes with the same name
(type) thus necessitating the use of unit addresses in node names, and
reg properties:

Does anyone have any comment on this patch?

No. Looks fine. I'll apply for 3.7 or do you have something that depends
on it?

Great! Given the discussions on this topic before, it sure seemed like
no news was bad news here, but I guess not:-)

I'm going to add some new device tree content in 3.7 that will rely on
this patch to work. However, since it's a new feature/DT-content, I
don't think we need to manage the dependency any more than having this
and the other patches both show up in 3.7 at some time.

Thanks.
