This one I won't apply now, since there is another much earlier sent
and discussed change:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220311093800.18778-4-singh.kuldeep87k@gmail.com/

The thing is formally it's a DT ABI change. I'm pro to apply the change, but
let me say I need to get a bit more of courage to resend it and to push it
through as an incredibly unlikely but still potentially harmful change to
some unknown user.
