My bad.
This is not valid in case of cheza. Cheza firmware doesn't implement
the safe errata handling hook.
On cheza we just have the liberty of accessing the secure registers
through scm calls - this is what
we were doing in earlier patch series handling this errata.
So, a property like this should go to mtp board's dts file.

Thanks
