Just to be sure, the schematic that inspired this change looks like this:

https://megous.com/dl/tmp/33b2971de6943e9d.png

HDMI-5V is always on, and what is really being enabled here are mosfets
connected to DDC_CEC_EN and not the HDMI-5V power supply. So in this case it
really is just for DDC. It is conceivable that some boards may need both to
enable 5V for HDMI circuitry and some separate power shifting logic for
DDC bus.

So if I renamed this, the DTS would not describe the real HW very well
on Orange Pi 3.
