And again, we need to follow the rules of the device property
bindings. (No underscores - use dashes; name should be registered).

Without Rafael's / Mika's and Rob's opinions I would not go with a
such name even for internal property.

DWC3 (USB) for example is still using "linux," prefix. I dunno if it's
the case here, I mean can or can't we use similar approach.

"ngpios"
