Both properties should only accept 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128.

We accept non-exact numbers in sysfs attributes because we can not
expect the end users to know permitted values, but devicetree authors
should know what is acceptable. Valid values can be expressed here
easily with something like
	enum: [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128]

This can also be easily tested in the code by ensuring that
the devicetree property is in the range of 1..128 and has exactly
one bit set, such as
	if (!val || val > 128 || hweight32(val) != 1)
or with something like
	if (!val || val > 128 || BIT(__fls(val)) != val)
