I can't remember the original thread (or immediately find it).
So I may have this totally wrong. 
- I don't want checks on reg value to change how the binding works as that
  is a wieird corner and in theory this device could be at a small address anyway.

- Fine to do as Conor suggests and just add a comment for this
  corner case rather than making it required.
