We should be doing things right, in mainline. To bring up a different example, on TI OMAP4 parts at least for a long time in order to use mainline U-Boot on older kernels you had to manually add CONFIG_SOMETHING_OR_ANOTHER to enable additional clocks/mux that the old kernels had incorrectly relied on U-Boot to set. If we must do strange things to support old and incorrect but in the wild kernels we need to (a) make it opt-in (easier now with Kconfig!) and (b) schedule a removal of the hack all the same.
A Kconfig option does sound like a reasonable compromise.
