Sure, but what is the point of representing this in the driver?

If those warnings are being seen whatever added the routes is buggy
as-is.

It's not really a scalable binding - it's a boolean for this one
configuration, even adding a GPIO for detection isn't going to fit in
terribly neatly.  I'm trying to figure out if we even need a binding
