That property isn't in the binding document. We can't add properties
that aren't documented.

Macros should not include structural syntax; the < > around the cell

It'd be simpler to just write:

	nvidia,swgroup = <0x00000000 0x000779ff>;

We should only extend the binding in a backwards-compatible fashion, so
we can't require that DTs contain this value. At least, there should be
a default value defined for when the property doesn't exist.
