Beyond the fact that I dislike register-content properties like this, where
it is not possible to grok the meaning by reading the property, what
even makes this suitable for DT in the first place? Reading the commit
message this sounds like software policy, and that different users of
the same board might want to configure these register bits in different
ways.
