I'll fix this, thanks.

I can add the meanings for this specific chip in the binding document,
  however I would still keep the raw register value as the dt entry due
  to reasons explained in my previous email.

I was thinking it might be handly as I do not know the details of all
variants of this chip. However I guess it could be left out.

I'll fix this, thanks.

I'll drop the register address from dt alltogether.


I will fix these issues and prepare a new patch.
