Aye, I didn't notice these. Any DT properties /must/ be documented.
To avoid having to make the comments on v2, properties should also not
contain underscores.

If they're properties of the hardware, they should come from DT/ACPI,
unless they're auto-detectable, in which case that is preferred.
To quote GregKH "please do not add new module parameters for drivers,
this is not the 1990s" :)
