See the ePAPR spec. It's a PowerPC doc, but parts still apply.

https://www.power.org/resources/downloads/Power_ePAPR_APPROVED_v1.1.pdf

There may also be something in OpenFirmware specs.

I don't think there is any reason you can't point to a single value if a
system wide setting fits. If not, using a per device value here is
easily doable.

You don't have any h/w restrictions here and most ARM platforms don't,
so really this doesn't need to be solved with DT for the default case.
