Ok, I see now. I think we can safely drop it completely then:

- Berlin was only recently added and doesn't need to set the
  mask because the common code handles it just fine now.

- i.mx was added earlier, at a time where it was still necessary

- zynq just made a mistake, 0xFFFFFFF0 was never a valid mask
  and just happened to work by accident.

In summary, the 32-bit default mask will work on all of them,
and we need no special code or DT properties for it.
