The devices which I have tested on haven't needed #address-cells or 
#size-cells. It looks like they are inheriting values defined at higher 
levels. I can add them to the example for completeness and update the 
documentation to say that they may be needed.

That makes sense. I will switch them to booleans.

The sensor name in the platform data is used by some debug messages 
before F01 is loaded. But, I agree it can be confusing having multiple 
names for the device. Especially, when the sensor name is the same as 
the product id. I'll see if it makes sense to use another name like the 
transport device's name in the logs.

Currently, rmi_dev's device name is also being set before F01 is loaded. 
I'll see if we can simply set it later when we have the product id from F01.

Great! I'll look into the issues you highlighted above and start posting 
patches soon. Thanks for reviewing!
