I'm fine with it

Hum yes I need to teach emacs how to properly format the comments.

We could but I fear that nobody will read it.

Indeed if you know that in order to understand the unit address, you will
have to have a look an the binding of the mvebu-mbus, then it means that
you already are an expert and actually you barely need to read it!

In order to have less change we could at least put it near the MBUS_ID
macro and if the mvebu-mbus.txt DT binding too.
