This is very common good practice, as well as validating communication
with the device it verifies that the device descrbied in the DT is the
one that is actually present in the system.  This might create hassle
down the line if there is a backwards compatible upgrade but that's much
rarer for this class of hardware than cut'n'pasting of device trees.
