Ok, I'll just remove the property then. After all the driver only supports
two types of controllers currently, the normal host EC and the Power Delivery
(PD) one. And there isn't a DTS even in the downstream ChromiumOS tree that
is setting a different EC name right now.

I guess the idea of the binding was to make it future proof from when the
driver supports more types of controllers but I'll let Gwendal to comment on
this since he is the author of these patches.

I will, thanks a lot for your feedback.
