This property is to provide some "expected" register values to handle
hardware where registers that should have values are empty (MCUs running
dodgy firmware pretending to be an rmi4 capable controller).

There can be (technically) an arbitrary number of pairs here, it should
align with the number of Page Descriptor Tables supported by the device.
This is basically meant to done on a best-effort basis. The OnePlus 6
has 3 pairs here.

I'll give another pass at the description and see if I can explain this
better heh.
