which actually makes it unsuitable for dt.

Devicetree describes hardware-properties and should _not_ be used for
software configuration.

From the comment above, I assume the rk3576 does not need that feature
and can just work with the regular tuning?

So there are two routes for the immediate future:
(1) rk3576 _needs_ that feature, then going with the compatible is fine

(2) rk3576 does not need absolutely need that feature, then I'd expect
the basic rk3576 to first come without, as I'd expect a lot more explanation
on why it is actually needed, and which cases it does improve.
The commit message does not really explain that much about why this
is a great/needed feature and which areas it does improve.
