If the firmware sets up the "law", it should put a property
in the node describing the setting. If Linux sets up the
laws, there shouldn't be a property (since it is a policy
decision).

Same issue. Even if the firmware uses a default setting,
it should still put it in the device tree _iff_ it is the
firmware's decision (and not the kernel's).
