In my recollection this was brought up when the restructuring of the arm
(not arm64) dts 'tree' was discussed.
So hopefully Rob can recall the details?

But IIRC, the objection was about enabling it *globally* and instead it
should be done more granually, be it on the SoC manufacturer level
('rockchip') or on the SoC ('rk3588') or on the board level as is
proposed in this patch.

e925743edc0d ("arm: dts: bcm: Enable device-tree overlay support for RPi devices")
is where it got enabled for RPi devices

I can't speak for the Debian kernel team, but the general approach is:
get it fixed (or in this case enabled) *upstream*.
That's why Aurelien Jarno (who's a DD) send it upstream.

HTH,
