That's a good point, I hadn't thought about that but you're right.

I think we were too pleased about identifying the problem and
proving it could happen (and cause a crash), so we didn't think
hard enough about this other piece.

Stephen, I think you should re-spin the series and add the
proper change to the binding.  You can keep the tags I gave
before.

I've got a note to follow up with similar changes to other
platforms where the interconnect driver includes resource "IP0"
and will plan to do what Doug suggests there too.
