Yeah, but then we'll have one more DT patch that is way bigger, changing
every single "reg =" in /soc. And the device tree for the SoC is merged already.
I do think that the neatest option is to avoid that and set an enum in the
binding, as otherwise we'd be making a stylistic change that has no
impact on functionality.
If we want the device tree to model hardware identically to how it is, then
we'd want to define IPs per bus (which I cannot really do on my own, I don't
even have TRMs).
I'll leave it up to Krzysztof to decide what is best.
