Hello Sakari,

You are right, but, the virtual ID must be written in hardware 
registers. So I can take the virtual ID from this property.
Otherwise, if I hardcode this in the driver, another virtual ID would be 
impossible to use without changing the driver. And if the binding is 
accepted without this property, it will be 'set in stone' and difficult 
to change afterwards.

What do you think ?
