Yeah, I get this. The text binding makes it seem like "config" should be
used for both RC and EP, so I am just asking you to check that there are
no drivers in other kernels or bootloaders that use "config" for EP
mode.

if you drop "addr_space", you'll need to update the endpoint driver so
that it supports both "addr_space" and "config". If there are no
endpoint drivers using "config" in other operating systems, and all the
dts files use "addr_space", documenting "reg" and "addr_space" for
endpoint mode seems fair to me.

Thanks,
Conor.
