Well, this is somehow similar to code, maybe not exactly in case of 
ordering, but coding style and conventions. Unreadable code can do exactly 
the same thing as readable code, while we somehow prefer the readable one.

On Exynos I've been trying to keep status as the last property, compatible 
as first, followed by reg and without any specific order of any other 
properties. Again, this is simply to keep some consistence across the dtses 
making them easier to read.
