Judging from your code, you expect two arrays in reg. You should
document it and in which order you expect them.

Also, you'd probably want to use reg-names, which is much more
flexible from a DT point of view.

Encoding bit offsets and/or register addresses in the DT is usually a
bad idea. You should more likely use different compatibles here.
