I don't think we should be documenting labels because names can be
whatever. DT binding spec is just talking about name rules.

6.2 chapter.

A label shall be between - 1 to 31 characters in length, be composed
only of the characters in the set Table 6.1, and must not start with a
number.

- Table 6.1: Valid characters for DTS labels
Character	Description
0-9		digit
a-z		lowercase letter
A-Z		uppercase letter
_		underscore

Thanks,
Michal
