Is it because I ellipsed the #address-cells and #size-cells? I will add
them.

This example is from a board using an ath9k chip and this field contains
what the driver names EEPROM, although it is in fact only a config
binary blob. However I agree that it is misleading for such an example,
I will replace it with something like "wifi-config-data".
