Thanks!

The idea here is to make sure we're reasonably covered against further changes
in firmware. If we define constraints too narrow it can be a pain to support
new features without breaking backwards compatibility in dt.

I was under the impression that having an explicit definition was nice to have.
What's troubling about creating the dependency?
