I know, and this is done on purpose.

I doubt anyone cares if the sa8295p GPU breaks for one commit in case
this series goes in through the same tree or even for a couple of RCs in
case they go in through separate trees.

But we recently had a similar discussion about a bluetooth fix and
whatever course of action I would have chosen here, someone is bound to
whine.

In this case I figured it was worth doing the extra work. But this is
just a temporary workaround as "qcom,sa8540p-gpucc" is not truly
compatible with "qcom,sc8280xp-gpucc" as only the former depends on the
external supply.

Heck, I even spelled it out in the commit message...
