The precise format of these cells needs to be specified, at this point
in the binding document.

Why do you say "The value is 2 for now"? Do you expect this to grow in
future? If so, why?

This doesn't sound right. This isn't the ITS, so it shouldn't refer to
the ITS registers in this manner.

Does the mbigen not have its own set of registers?

Thanks,
