It's documented in DT spec/ePAPR. It can be anywhere. It's the
property for the human readable identifiers such as the label on
ethernet ports, serial ports, LEDs, etc.

We don't really want to see the same property names with different
meanings. I think checking the location is a separate check. You've
generally suggested splitting up tests rather than have all in one
tests. Not sure if we should check known properties only appear in
chosen or that chosen only has known properties (assuming we can
enumerate that list. Maybe we allow things like "linux,*").
