Why do you want to make it configurable anyway? So far no other driver
seems to need this. My suggestion is to make it unconfigurable.

For adding properties like this to the devicetree remember that they
should be OS agnostic. napi is a implementation detail relevant only
for Linux. And even Linux may decide to drop napi support in favour for
something better in the future.
