Is this describing the hardware or how you're using it? If the latter,
it should be a module parameter or some sort of runtime knob instead.

Assuming this is actually describing how the hardware is wired up, yes,
that's how you'd document it (making sure that device trees without that
property are interpreted the same as today).
