Ah. This patch should come first, before making associated
code changes, and there would need to be an explanation
_why_ it is not a mandatory property. Also, some action
is taken in the previous patches if the property is not
there. That indicates that the driver is expected to
use some defaults if the property is indeed not provided,
and that expected default should be documented.
