"Need" is perhaps a little strong. It's unfortunate that back at the
time the existing format was deemed best practice, and now we're told
to have been doing it wrong all along. There's also the issue that in
practice somebody might use the node name for some sort of lookup in
userspace or whatever, and they'd have every right to do so, because
the DT is an ABI after all.

Technically removing the 0, from the unit address would be breaking
that ABI, but in practice I'd hope that we wouldn't really break the
world for any users. If this gets us on the same page as everyone
else, I'm fine with taking this risk. I've already begun to convert
existing device trees.

Fingers crossed that best practices won't change again...
