Aha, that makes sense (unlike my original comment, now I reread it). Sorry for
the noise.

Can I ask what your objection to using a string property is?

As far as I can see, "ti,type" is only used by this driver, so there's no
common convention to stick to. Using a string makes the binding easier for
humans to read, and thus harder to mess up in a dts, and it decouples the
binding from kernel-side constants.

Thanks,
Mark.
