s/range/size/

Please append something like "one entryfor each entry in reg-names".

I don't understand the mention of "type".

Additionally, "syscfg-en" looks to be a portion of another device
(shared system controller?), and probably should be described by
reference.

Does this relate to the syscfg-en entry in the reg proeprty?

s/_/-/ in property names.

Why does this need to be in the binding? It seems like a choice rather
than a property of the system.
