This is rather opaque.

It seems from the code below that a single adv7611 device has multiple
I2C addresses at which different registers may be accessed. I guess the
secondary instances of the unit have different addresses for all of the
pages?

This should be updated, at least to say "address(es)".

This doesn't describe _which_ names you expect, and I have no idea what
is meant by "to be reprogrammed".

Bindings shouldn't say things like this. The binding should describe the
contract between the DTB and the OS, which this clearly doesn't.

A binding document shouldn't necessitate reading code.

What about the other IDs? Are they accessible or not?

Why didn't we always list the full set of IDs in the first place? That
would have made this far less painful.

Thanks,
Mark.
