I think I have misunderstood the device tree json-schema spec.
My intention was for the device tree to fill in a default value in the dtb for
arm,smc-id if it was omitted in the dts. But now I see that does not seem to
happen, I cannot really find any documentation of `default`, so I will just put
a documentation string in instead and force the default in the driver.
