Kinda useless for commit message, but might go after --- delimiter.

You missed the point. You assign positive value to negative variable.
It's a bug. Have you tested this? How?

In case of positive property you have to update DTS. By the way, I'm
pretty sure that spare13xx boards has auto configuration enabled, though
it has to be checked with vendor (I assume you may have fast response
from them).
