Hello Sakari,

You are right, but, the virtual ID must be written in hardware
registers. So I can take the virtual ID from this property.
Otherwise, if I hardcode this in the driver, another virtual ID would be
impossible to use without changing the driver. And if the binding is
accepted without this property, it will be 'set in stone' and difficult
to change afterwards.

What do you think ?
