Just to be sure, we're talking here about making sure the value stored
in the DT is not bigger than the specified value (here an u8)? If so,
that isn't the reason why I'm suggesting those two patches.

Without /bits 8/ in the DT property, whatever were the values I put in
the property, I'd always get a 0. So I need to fix it either in the DT
(but Rob does not really like it) or in the driver.

Hope that makes sense.
