I would just write "for backwards compatibility, if neither Svade nor
Svadu appear in the devicetree the supervisor may assume Svade to be
present and enabled". If there are systems that this behaviour causes
problems for, we can deal with them iff they appear. I don't think
looking at m*id would be sufficient here anyway, since the firmware can
have an impact. I'd just drop that part entirely.

nit: I'd drop the "(Obvious)" comments from here.

Cheers,
