 From my understanding mixing strings and numbers in a property is
frowned on though.

But doesn't it make sense in the current case? The power sequence is
basically a program that is run by an interpreter. From this
perspective, it makes more sense to me to have it as a binary field
rather than a hierarchy of nodes and properties that will be harder to
parse and will make error detection more complicated. I don't really see
any practical benefit from turning the steps into sub-nodes, but then
again I am not so familiar with the DT.

Mixing strings and integers in a property isn't "allowed" (by convention
of DT bindings reviewers - as you noticed, dtc will happily compile it);
there are practical issues with attempting to do so, such as causing the
integer values to be unaligned, and thus causing the current integer
parsing code to fail, etc.
