Good description, but I think re-adding this sentence from my v2 would
be useful:

list of I2C addresses that are known to be available on the"local"
(SoC-to-deser) I2C bus

In DT the Linux implementation is irrelevant. Also if we want the ATR
code to be generic we must prepare DT bindings for future devices.
Thus, being these I2C addresses, they could be 7 or 10 bits, thus the
need for at least 16 bits.

All the above will become irrelevant in case the alias pool will
disappear, though.
