Yes, it is. But in this case what data-shift configures is not configurable
as such but defined by another configuration, making the data-shift
property redundant. We generally haven't documented redundant things in DT
bindings --- for instance data-lanes is documented in bindings only if it
is configurable.

That said, it'd be nice to say which pins are used on less than full width
busses.
