I do not really understand why you need to upstream it this way, there
are plenty of other rk3588 boards with fcs,fusb302 already having status
"okay" that possible are affected by same USB PD issue that ROCK 5B
have.

I guess you want to try and protect users that upgrade kernel DT and
ignore upgrading to a newer U-Boot, use vendor U-Boot or any other
bootloader from having possible issues with those USB PD power supplies
that have issues?

It make very little sense to check for this, it is implied for almost
all Rockchip boards since it is used in rockchip board common code
to setup serial and Ethernet mac addresses env vars.
