Should we define properties for these registers?

* OPERATION
* ON_OFF_CONFIG
* SYS_CONFIG

We could I suppose. I don't see why though; is it normal to document 
specific registers on devices? And why just those ones? The driver 
doesn't use them. Presumably someone who wants to use them can look at 
the spec.

Thanks for the review!

It's not normal to document specific registers, no. However, it is normal to
expose the device's configuration fields as properties. Reading back I chose my
words poorly, but my query was about the properties of the device that can be
configured through these registers, not really about the registers themselves.

Because from a quick scan of the datasheet, these seem to be the remaining
registers that contained fields that could be configured.

Upstream's stance is that the bindings describe the hardware, and the
strong preferences is that the description is complete at the time of
submission.

Though maybe if there are optional properties it's not so significant.
