Yes and we had such cases when renaming device nodes caused regression.
My interpretation is that node name is not part of ABI, so anyone
depending on it made a mistake and they need to fix their stuff. I think
actually that is really poor coding and poor solution to parse device
node names and expect specific name.
Other folks interpretation is that we never break the users of kernel,
regardless what is documented in the ABI... so it depends. :)
Here however it is not a device node name, but a property name (although
still a node). Bindings require these to be specific, thus such name is
a part of ABI.
For your case, I wonder why it was called "legacy-interrupt-controller"
in the first place? Node names - also for properties - should be
generic, so generic name is just "interrupt-controller".
