Not everything that appears in platform data should appear in the dt.
This seems more like a run-time decision that a description of the
hardware. 

I don't see why we need the "adi,power-mode-sleep-mode" property.

Not all platform data is suitable for dt. This seems like a decision as
to how to use the hardware, rather than a description of the hardware.
Hardware description should go in the dt, decisions should go in the
driver.

And ditto to my points above.
