1. This is not truly on the FSI bus. It is on the SBEFIFO "bus"

2. True enough, I'll change it to property.

3. If this binding was being designed now, I'd agree with you, but the 
two nodes (occ and occ-hwmon) are already documented, I'm just changing 
to yaml here... Changing that would require a lot of changes and would 
break the two drivers.
