The kernel doesn't do anything with that node though, so if you were to
load a fitImage in U-Boot containing this DT, having booted with
whatever the factory provided OpenSBI has, that limitation doesn't
apply, right?

I'll go take a look through this, if it's good I'll apply it and send it
on to Arnd for 6.5? Although I assume it is fine since v2 was nearly
fine!
