As the for-upstream-Linux dtsi for the MediaTek MT7988 SoC is still in
the making there aren't any existing DT blobs we'd want to be compatible

Do you still want me to check for the presence of any led properties
before looking for the syscon phandle?
As in: would you like to have it that way anyway even if compatibility
is not an issue?
