It's not so much does this work now as will this clearly work in future
when someone changes something, and will any changes that are concerning
be likely to set off alarm bells.  I'm sure it works fine now.

BTW the new property isn't added to the binding document, though this
case is a bit iffy given that the intent is apparently that it not be
added to the document since this is basically working around the issues
with ACPI not being terribly descriptive, the property is very much not
idiomatic for DT.  Having it in the binding document might actually end
up being an issue - from that point of view it'd be good if we had a
namespace for things that should never appear in DT that didn't look
like a DT namespace.
