I tend to switch to style expressed in DTS coding style, especially that we might use at some point sorting tool which would then need exception for CPUs. Keep existing labels, assuming they reflect reality, but order by unit address. > > > If you still think that they must be ordered by unit address, please > > explicitly let me know so that I include that change in the v5. > Best regards, Krzysztof
