The common usage for data-width property is "in bytes". And I like the
idea. I don't know why at all I chose to keep encoded value there in the
first place and no one commented at that time. I suppose because of
screwed device tree process. I think now it's better to follow some
standard / registered properties in new drivers.

Yes, due to "- Use one value for all AHB masters for now". No reason to
read all of them.

It will read first element.
