There is a DT patch using this property that is already queued up for 5.17
in the soc tree:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220214200507.2500693-1-nfraprado@collabora.com/

merged here:

http://git.kernel.org/soc/soc/c/32568ae37596b529628ac09b875f4874e614f63f

We will need to revert that one as well.
