As it says it is resetting the mode to the native HiDeep protocol,
we have no docs on the controller, so I have no idea what other
values may be written to 0x081e other then 0 and what modes those
values will enable.

Anyways I just realized I should have not included this at all,
since atm this new property is only used on X86/ACPI platforms
(through platform code setting a device-property), so it is not
used on devicetree platforms at all.

And Rob has repeatedly requested to not add properties not
actually used in devicetree files (1) to the bindings.

So I'll just drop the bindings in the next version of this
patch-set.

Regards,

Hans


1) Like these x86 kinda kernel internal (it is also the kernel
setting the property) properties to devicetree bindings.
