The length of qcom,enabled-strings as property array is enough to determine the number of strings to be enabled, without needing to set qcom,num-strings to override the default number of strings when less than the default (which is also the maxium) is provided in DT.

cfg->num_strings = string_len;I still don't really understand why this wants to be a separate patch.
I'm viewing this as a separate issue, and this makes it easier to document the change in a loose commit.
The warning text emitted by the previous patch (whatever text we agree on) will be nonsense until this patch is applied.
If this patch cannot appear before the warning is introduces then there is no correct order for patches 4 and 5 (which implies they should be the same patch).
Agreed, this is a weird way of doing things in v2 - the error message is printed yet the length of qcom,enabled-strings is always ignored before this patch.
If we were to reorder patch 5 before patch 4 that should also temporarily move `cfg->num_strings = cfg->num_strings + 1;` right below this `if` so that `qcom,num-strings` remains the definitive way to set/override length. That's doable, and makes it easier to read patch 4 as that bit of code will be replaced by of_property_read_u32 on that exact line. Let me know which method you prefer.
Personally I would just squash them together. There are no redundant values in the DT that could be fixed until we can use the string_len to set num_strings.
However I won't object to the other approach providing the result is bisectable.
