Just to point out those properties are not even documented in rcar-vin
bindings (actually, none of them was).

I feel it's wrong to have them here, as someone may think that
changing their value should actually change the VIN interface behavior,
which it's not true, leading to massive confusion and quite some code
digging for no reason (and they will get mad at us at some point, probably :)

Thanks
