I doubt that Qualcomm will be able come up with another way to break the
address property. They'd have to try real hard.

And this is an internal define which can be changed at any time. There's
also some worth in keeping it aligned with the DT property, which I'm
more open to renaming (e.g. if the DT maintainers thinks dropping the
vendor prefix makes sense).

The alternative I considered but rejected was something like
"local-bd-address-be" as that would be too neutral.

Perhaps "local-bd-address-reversed" would at least signal that something
is backwards, but I still fear that that may be too subtle.
