Good point, we don't actually need to store the value, it can just be a 
local.
Yep I had done a device tree documentation patch, but confused myself 
when submitting due to it having to be in a separate patch
I think I need to create 2 different patches but submit in the same 
email via send-patch as a multipart patch..
I'll try to fix that when I send it in again.
