This renders as:

sub-element <address> with type='usb'which can tie

You are missing a space, and it also sounds funny, so I suggest:

s/which / /

We still haven't answered the question of whether it is better to update
all tests to add an output of explicit type='isa-serial' even when
omitted on input (and this bool is not needed), or whether your approach
of doing output only when present on input makes more sense.  If the
former, then we need a v3 that touches all affected tests; if the
latter, then ACK to this patch with the doc fix.
