I see this change in the pull request I got, but I'm a bit worried about the
incompatible binding change. Wouldn't the correct path forward be to
list both the correct and the incorrect properties, both in the dts file
and in the driver that interprets the properties?

The binding file in this case would need to list the old name as deprecated,
though I'm not sure how that would work without causing a warning about
the unknown vendor prefix.
