The DT has They should only be optional if they may really be missing. We may attempt to be liberal in the DTs we accept but we should not encourage sloppily written DTs. > really no control over how I wire up my HW and I'd argue most folks just > permanently power the TAS5720 since the shutdown current is just a few > uAs IIRC in order to save some BOM cost.

Or did I misunderstand your point? It doesn't really matter if a given system ends up controlling things actively, we still want to be consistent in describing them since it is less error prone when it does become relevant.
