According to a dump I have, '/cpus/PowerPC,G4' has 'l2-cache' property and '/cpus/PowerPC,G4/PowerPC,G4' node has a node name of 'l2-cache'. So this would actually work with yaml if we brought back explicit 'name' properties. But this highlights we've already diverged from OpenFirmware. Specs evolve all the time deprecating old behavior. I don't see this as any different. We can debate deprecating vs. outright changing the spec. It's so rare, do we need to even bother deprecating it? Rob
