The binding doesn't describe what these actually represent, what type
they are, etc.

Also, "nct7802" is not a vendor prefix, and the camelcase naming is
unusual.

Why do you think you need these? Why must raw valeus be used rather than
giving the kernel the information it needs to derive these for itself?
