[snipping to not have the entire thread here]
I've no objections to seeing the DT updated. However I don't really see
what benefit we get from breaking existing DTs in order to do so.

"Cleaning up annoying legacy" is seldom a good reason to break existing
DTs since, if we could break DTs whenever we choose, there would never
be any annoying legacy to worry about. When conflicting properties
result in uninterpretable DTs then a break may be justified but that is
not the case here.

The only true user of wled as of right now is Xperia Tone platform, 
which does not yet

have display support upstream, so unless one classifies lighting up an 
otherwise black display

a dealbreaker, I think it'd be fine to bend the rules this time.
