It clearly shows that this was done on purpose and indicates which
properties need to be changed to "okay" once we have actual support.

Okay, let's revert these sound dts changes then until we have support.
We have no idea if the dts changes are correct as sound still depends
on out-of-tree hacks.

People are using -next for development and I don't want to see them
toast their speakers because we failed get the dependencies merged
before merging the dts changes which is how we normally do this.

So shall I just send a revert instead? I really don't care as long as
this is disabled again today.
