Is it really necessary to keep the erratum in sabrelite dts? Because the
sabrelite is a _reference_ platform, vendors use this dts as a working
example of how to configure their imx6-based hardware. So as a working
example, it should contain as much example hardware config as possible
as a guide. If a vendor does not require OV5642 support and requires
the lower power consumption that the erratum workaround provides, they
can refer to other example imx6 dts files which still implement the
erratum, or look at the git log of this file.
