What do you mean "restore the behaviour of the rockchip kernel"? Did
mainline behave the same as the rockchip kernel previously? If not,
using "restore" here is misleading. "Unconditionally" is also incorrect,
because you have a property that disables it.

Unfortunately you cannot do this.
Previously no property at all meant disabled and a property was required
to enable it. With this change the absence of a property means that it
will be enabled.
An old devicetree is that wanted this to be disabled would have no
property and will now end up with it enabled. This is an ABI break and is
clearly not backwards compatible, that's a NAK unless it is demonstrable
that noone actually wants to disable it at all.

If this patch fixes a problem on a board that you have, I would suggest
that you add the property to enable it, as the binding tells you to.

Thanks,
Conor.
