I missed it completely. Now that I think of it, I seem to have missed
having seen it in previous rev reviews as well, and there is a reason
for it: See [1] clarifying comment - nodes reserved for firmware usage
have convention of "reserved" as status and documentation immediately
above the status to help clarify the reason in-context. That is more
readable than having to scroll up to find the rationale.
