Sprinkle a few commonly used aliases onto the PineTab2 dtsi file, to improve its readability a bit, to make it easier to refer to the actual nodes later,

No functional changes are introduced, which was validated by decompiling and comparing all affected board dtb files before and after these changes. When compared with the decompiled original dtb files, some of the phandles in the updated dtb files have different values, and the updated dtb files contain some additional phandles and additional symbols that come from the introduced
aliases, but they still effectively remain the same as the originals.

Unused aliases do not improve readability, so for me this change is
making code worse without valid reason.

Then why do we already have, for example, unused "rk817_charger: charger" aliases in quite a few board dts(i) files? If those are actually seen as
redundant, we should remove all of them.
