I'm really not sure about adding big sets of rules.
In the above example you'd also need to define which schema has a higher
priority? ;-)
When I started with Rockchip stuff, I also had some fancy way of sorting
elements in mind that was really intuitive to myself :-) .
Over time I realized that it was quite complex - especially when I had to
explain it to people.
There are definite advantages for having compatible + reg + status in
fixed positions, as it helps going over a whole dt to spot the huge
mistakes (accidentially disabled, wrong address), but for the rest a
simple alphabetical sorting is easiest to explain to people :-) .
And alphabetic elements are also easier on my eyes.
I just think having a short clean set of rules like Krzysztof proposed,
is easier to follow and "enforce" and also most likely doesn't deter
people from contributing, if mainline work is not their main occupation.
