We don't allow warnings, so you're saying this one was warning before?

You have to fix the warning as part of this series.

If 'CRU' is a hardware block, then I don't think most of the revert is 
right to use 'simple-bus'. 

If you want to just replace 'offset' with 'reg', then I'd be happy to 
see that. I've been pushing child nodes of syscons in that direction.
