the patch you indicate is patch [4/14] as below, not this patch [3/14]
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL_JsqJvh5pddoVEgaKQvGth0ncgtC9AAGxMEiK__NiZKrjmxA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

the actual change of this patch is only to swap function name between
of_property_present() and of_property_read_bool() even if it seems this
patch has many changed lines.
