I'd say yes, svade just put a name on a HW mechanism that is required to 
make an OS work properly (if Svadu is not present). So if a platform 
only supports Svadu and it's not in the device tree, that's a bug on 
their hand.

So if neither Svadu nor Svade are present in the device tree, we can 
legitimately assume that Svade is enabled.
