This is required field if you want to use "of_dev_auxdata", without
"reg" property OF layer fails to create dev_id (name) bindings with what
you have specified as part of "of_dev_auxdata".

And with respect to CAN driver, even though we are using hwmod, I would
want to create dev_id = d_can.0 and d_can.1. And this is only possible
if Address and compatible string matches.

So this field is important and required in this case.
