Hey Emily,

Welcome to OpenBMC! I maintain the kernel tree for the project.

When you're sending patches for our fork of Linux I encourage
developers to put the project and branch they're targeting in the
patch prefix. This helps me out as we use the list for a few things
other than Linux:

git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH linux dev-4.7"

I wasn't sure why this would fix things. I had a chat with Xo and he explained:

09:28 <@shenki> GHF[m]: but i wasn't sure why adding the reg property
changed things?
09:28 <@shenki> GHF[m]: was it not binding without the reg?
09:28 <@shenki> there's no device tree bindings that match what zaius
is doing, so it's hard to check
10:44 < GHF[m]> shenki: correct, no i2c slave device for the hotswap
controller was instantiated and the lm5066 driver did not bind
10:45 < GHF[m]> shenki: actually Emily noted that it did bind if the
device name were changed to "lm5066" suggesting that the of_*
compatible property match wasn't working
10:46 < GHF[m]> shenki: no idea why the reg property one level up
affects that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
10:47 <@shenki> GHF[m]: okay. i will merge it for now

I've applied your patch to dev-4.7 with Xo's review.

Cheers,

Joel
