Usually we try to keep DT compatible, that's true. And I also do not
fully like the u16 notation. However I'm not sure whether using full
u32 for explicitly u16 value is correct. I'll wait for the guidance
from DT binding and USB maintainers.

I'll mention the qrb5165-rb5 explicitly in the cover letter.
