I understand you do not expose them all, but that is not the reason to
increment ID by 2 or 3... Otherwise these are not IDs and you are not
expected to put register offsets into the bindings (you do not bindings
in such case).

This cannot be fixed now, but it is very poor argument. Like saying "we
had a bug in other driver, so we implemented the bug here as well".
