I remember discussions where people explicitly said that relying on the
symbolic names in the DT bindings was a mistake because it would mean
that everyone would need to have access to a mechanism similar to what
we have in the Linux kernel (and that the header files would always need
to be shipped with the DT bindings).

I seem to remember that there was a reason but I'm pulling a blank. I'll
do some testing with those removed and verify that they are indeed not
needed.

Yes, this is left-over from an earlier version of the patch. Thanks for
catching this.
