I'd really prefer that we keep the unit-address and reg consistent.

Given that the address may change on a per-board basis, it simply has to
live in the board file.

However, given that all boards are currently the same it could be
dropped in the SoC file for now, with a comment saying it should be
factored out to boards when the first board with a different address
comes along.

Thanks,
Mark.
