I really don't like this. You rely on having invalid data in the DT, and
that seems just wrong.

Why can't u-boot just generate that property, and we leave the DT alone?
Or even better, you provide the right information for the few boards
that are based on this SoC, not relying on u-boot for anything that is
in the kernel tree?
