Just to make things straight, it's not me alone that didn't like the
approach.

It's both wrong on a theorical point of view to put that in the DT,
since it has no hardware meaning at all (ie it doesn't describe the
hardware, or the state the bootloader left the hardware in), and this
has been NAKed a number of times already by Mark Brown.

See http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.spi.devel/11747 for
example.
