Does the OS depend on what the names are? As-in if a name was "bar"
and it changed to "baz" in either the DT or the kernel, would that
break things? If yes, then yes, you need them defined here.

What happened to that. Instead you just sent a new version with
nothing about this.

That works for newer kernels with this change, but existing kernels
will only have:

use_old_hardcoded_stuff(); /* and not know it's sad */

If you want to support a new DT and old kernel, you need to populate
both properties.

Ultimately it is your decision as Mediatek maintainer, not mine. My
only requirement is the commit message explain why the above
combination is not important for these platforms.

You could leave it, but keep both in the dts files for some time
period. That will cause warnings, but what's a few more. The ABI
doesn't have to be a forever thing. Things evolve and there will be
other reasons to upgrade.
