Perhaps rewrite as: Each I2C device connected to the bus should be described in a subnode with properties. All properties described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c.txt are valid here, but several new properties have been added. > + > +New required properties: > +------------------------ > +- i3c-lvr: 32 bits integer property (only the lowest 8 bits are meaningful) > + describing device capabilities as described in the I3C > + specification. > + > + bit[31:8]: unused > + bit[7:5]: I2C device index.
