So, part of the answer is that the documentation isn't as clear and well
formatted as I'd like (aside, include/dm/ofnode.h::ofnode_pre_reloc
comment should be reworded to render better). First, I want to point to
the schema itself:
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/bootph.yaml
and then next:
https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/develop/driver-model/design.html#pre-relocation-support

And in this case, the "pre" options are a bit less clear as TI platforms
don't do the TPL->SPL->Full U-Boot dance that others like say Rockchip
do but instead the Cortex-R/Cortex-A dance for the K3 architecture.

Which gets back to what I was trying to ask. What, functionally,
requires that property to be present? And then, for the cortex-a
platforms these should be in the upstream dtb and I forget if you said
that's in progress for these platforms or not.
