This string is undocumented.

I'm not sure either string makes sense though; this feels like a binding
for the sake of the driver rather than describing the device and
allowing the driver to pick it up if it makes sense to do so.

What exactly is a "ssi-char" device or a "hsi-char" device?

Cheers,
