I forgot to link to my follow up patch where I added the property to
some other Pine64 devices and added a cover letter inviting others to
add it to other boards too if that seemed appropriate:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/20240705163004.29678-2-didi.debian@cknow.org/

Maybe this applies to 'your' board too?

That seems to invert the logic, which I believe was considered
the 'wrong' solution:

Maybe there is a better solution; possibly others will respond too.

Given that you're now at least the 4th person trying this, I guess
a hint 'somewhere' would be beneficial.
I do not know if the error message itself would be considered misleading
and if something should be done about that.
