"hideep,force-native-protocol" is a good suggestion I'll prepare a new
version with that.

Right, but I have beene explicitly told multiple times (1) to not document
device-properties when they are only used between x86 platform code and
drivers consuming them (and thus not actually used in any DT files
at that point in time).
