I'm confused now. I posted almost exactly the same patch a while ago and
we agreed that we couldn't do this because the node names were to be
considered part of the ABI.

Is it or is it not?

The particular case where it matters is the GPU node, which U-Boot manipulates. This revised patch version no longer renames the GPU node and so in practice avoids any issues that I'm aware of.

If there's a more general rule that node names are part of the ABI, then indeed we shouldn't take this patch.
