Yes, and LABEL= would be another way.

Alternatively you could use U-Boot's DT when booting the board. U-Boot
will add those aliases during build time (because it needs them for its
own purposes), and by using $fdtcontroladdr (instead of $fdt_addr_r,
on the bootz command line) you get this for free, and even save yourself
from loading some DT.
We sync the DTs regularly from the kernel to U-Boot now, and at the
moment they are identical between the kernel and U-Boot, so you don't
lose anything.

Cheers,
Andre
