I assume, OF devs will argue: DT is describing hardware not software.
On other hand, software will get notification about assertion/deassertion of this key. So, 
it is just normal key. If, for some reason, it will trigger world destruction, if it is 
pressed too long... probably no body cares.
You can provide fsl,imx-sc-key as additional compatible. In case linux will need some 
quirks, we still can fall back to more precise compatible "fsl,imx8qxp-sc-pwrkey".
