I agree with the careful application of these properties part.

However, I perceive them as tunables, not errata. If they were errata, I 
would argue the errata quirks that apply to each controller instance in 
each SoC should be derived from the compatible string. If they were 
tunables, they should be DT properties.

The way I interpret this is, that the user should keep the defaults and 
not enable any of the additional quirks unless they really need them. 
But the DT checker should not warn the user that the quirk is invalid, 
because I do not think that is the case -- the quirk is not invalid, it 
is only not necessary in the majority of cases.

How shall we proceed here ?
