Exactly, Romain intends to support both versions (i.e. with and without
the prefix) with his helper function as there are already other uses of
this variant in the wild.

As I believe I mentioned in my cover letter, I suggest simply updating
to the generic property name (i.e. use the helper and drop the prefix)
once that code has been merged. Either way, we should always be able
to change the property name before it has been used in a mainline
release (as long as we update the driver and any dts use in one commit
in order not to break bisectability).
