I rebated that only properties listed in the device bindings documentation should actually be used, and having properties not parsed by the driver confuses users, which may expect changing them modifies the interface configuration, which does not happens at the moment. This came out as a middle ground from a discussion with Niklas. As stated in the cover letter if this patch makes someone uncomfortable, feel free to drop it not to hold back the rest of the series which has been well received instead.
