Because this SoC has 2 EBI busses with different capabilities.

Oh, come on! I reworked the binding because Mark complained about the
previous binding which was doing exactly what you're suggesting. Can
you please be consistent in your reviews...

It was a formerly defined as a boolean, and when it's done like that we
have no way to identify whether the property was forgotten or
intentionally set to normal mode. What's the problem with this approach?
