Your driver side of this, that I wasn't sent and cba downloading an
mbox of is not backwards compatible. The code has been there for a few
years, are you sure that there are no out of tree users or other OSes
that use the property?

tbh, I think all 3 of your dt-binding patches should be squashed rather
than drip-feeding the conversion. It makes more sense as a single
change, rather than splitting the rationales across 3 patches.
