I read http://devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage#Node_Names to say not
to use vendor specific names and xhci is not vendor specific.

ePAPR states:
"The name of a node should be somewhat generic, reflecting the
function of the device and not its precise programming model."
And while xhci does describe the programming interface, it also
describes the functionality and fits in better with the already
established "ehci" and "ohci" node names.
