That's not good, that's a regression in behavior. The driver should
have a fallback when the properties are not present to avoid regressions
like these.

Please work with the driver maintainer to either get them to revert
their change that regresses you, or promptly fix it appropriately with
fallback values.

Also, the driver changes were commited back in March, with plenty of time
to land DT changes well before the merge window. Waiting until the merge
window is closed is not appropriate -- this should have come in earlier.
