I assume they have different product numbers. So you can quote them in
the DT binding? Are they BGP or QFP? Can somebody easily count the
pins?

So first off, it sounds like you have the DT property named wrong. It
should be 'qca,ignore-power-on-sel'.

However, why do you even need this? Generally, strapping gives you the
defaults. Registers get loaded with a value determined by the
strapping. But after that, you can change the value, based on
additional information. Or are you saying the register is read only
when strapping is used?

At minimum, you need to clearly document that qca,led-open-drain
implies 'qca,ignore-power-on-sel'. I would probably go further and
return -EINVAL if qca,led-open-drain is set and
'qca,ignore-power-on-sel' is not.
