Bitta devil's advocacy perhaps, but why is this DT property? Is it not
known whether or not this is supported based on the compatible, and
whether or not to enable it is a decision for the operating system to
make?



AFAIK, not all board designs can use the OVP. On some, this may be unstable - the
use case where this can be safely enabled is when there's nothing in between the
mux and the controller, and between the mux and the port.

Okay, if it varies based on the configuration that makes sense. Perhaps
in the future consider mentioning stuff like that in the commit message.

You're right, it's totally sensible to write that in the commit message,
will do next time.

P.S.: I have been too much impatient and already sent a v3 because I had to
fix an issue with the code, could you please give your R-b to the v3 as well?
There's no change in the bindings commit.
