Why do you add an ABI for node name? Although name looks OK, but is it
really described in the spec that you depend on it? I really do not like
name dependencies...

Followed the existing DeviceTree's of naming and approaches in the
kernel to surprise less and "invent" even less. As for the spec, the

I am sorry, but there is no approved existing approach of adding ABI for
node names. There are exceptions or specific cases, but that's not
"invent less" approach. ABI is defined by compatible.
I should check on the compatible instead of adding a node that is not mentioned in the DeviceTree spec as I understand. Appreciate your help!


Best regards,
Krzysztof
