Might this make more sense as a hsi-clients binding doc?

I'll certainly get confused as to which cell is tx and which is rx with the current binding. Having separate tx-* and rx-* versions of the remaining properties would be good too. I note that the defines are called HSI_MODE_STREAM and HSI_MODE_FRAME, not STREAM and FRAME as the binding document implies. Please refer to exact names. It may make more sense to use a string here and for the other properties. They're easier for humans to read, and they survive decompilation (so you get _much_ better error messages). > +- hsi,channels Number of channels to use [1..16] > + The first value is used for RX and the second one for > + TX configuration.

This seems more like a Linux abstraction than a real class of device.
