But how would they do so ? What would be the rationale for selecting a
particular version in DT ?

I'm not thinking about giving control of this parameter to the end-user,
but in the context of an embedded system, it may be useful to select
which HDCP versions to offer based on different constraints at runtime.
This really seems like a system configuration parameter to me, not a
system description.
